In computing , a Control key Ctrl is a modifier key which, when pressed in conjunction with another key, performs a special operation (for example, Ctrl + C ). Similarly to the Shift key , the Control key rarely performs any function when pressed by itself. The Control key is located on or near the bottom left side of most keyboards (in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC 9995-2 ), with many featuring an additional one at the bottom right.

For example, the character "a" has a binary ASCII code of 110 0001 . This code would be converted to 000 0001 , corresponding to the ASCII character with id 1 (the SOH Character). The table at C0 and C1 control codes § C0 controls shows
