CTRL Key on BlackBerry Key2

Hi all.

So I recently picked up a Key2 and am really enjoying it. I do have a question though - One of the things you can change the currency key to is the ctrl key. Forgive my ignorance but what does the ctrl key do on a BlackBerry? I don't know if I will change it from the currency function but I can't make that decision without knowing what I'm missing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

IMO, this is one of the best features of the keyboard so I have my currency key set as the Ctrl Key

The Ctrl key is used just like on a PC:

Ctrl-A: Select all
Ctrl-C: Copy
Ctrl-V: Paste
Ctrl-Z: Undo
Ctrl-Y: Redo
Ctrl-X: Cut

How do you change the currency key to a control key?

Only setting I can find for the CTRL key asks me to use the "?123" Key for control - a key I don't see on my keyboard (Key2)

That's for the vkb, not pkb.
You need to go into Shortcut and Settings. See screen shot.

Does anyone know any other CTRL + ____ to use for the B-berry K2?

I am writing more and more on my phone these days...
