  • The Gold key is a computer keyboard key used as a prefix to invoke a variety of single-key editing and formatting functions.Usually located in the top-left position of the numeric keypad on platforms such as the VT100,it is the signature element of a consistent user interface implemented by Digital Equipment Corporation across multiple product lines. It is used within WPS, EDT, and many other common VAX programs. The key, typically located as the upper leftmost key on the numeric keypad on different terminals, was not necessarily colored gold. Some Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) terminals would include keyboards where the gold key was labeled PF1, as on the VT100 and VT200, or was colored blue, as on the VT52. On some keyboards, the normal function of a key would be labeled on the lower portion of the key, while its alternate function activated with the GOLD key would be labeled above it. (en)
