Cursor Keys 
Definition:

The cursor keys are the arrow keys on the keyboard that allow you to move the cursor around the screen.


Explanation:

There are four arrow keys located at the bottom right of the keyboard.  Using these keys allows you to move the cursor around the screen without adding or deleting spaces or characters.  With them you can move the cursor up, down, left, or right.  The "Page Up", "Page Down", "Home", and "End" keys on the top right of the keyboard are also sometimes considered cursor keys.
