Alt

Short for Alternate, Alt is a key generally located by the space bar on IBM compatible computer keyboards. This term may be used to describe a key combination such as:

CTRL + ALT + DEL

The above combination means press and hold on the keyboard CTRL and ALT and DEL to perform the function, in this case reboot the computer or open the close program window / task manager window.
