break/pause key

I have a dell insperion 2020. The keyboard (KM632, bluetooth wireless) does not have a break/pause key, is there any way I can remap or otherwise create such a key? Used primarily for gaming, I have been using the OSK but that takes up so much screen space.

On my standard keyboard, the Win key + Pause/Break works, but on my laptop, where the Pause and Break are separated, it’s Win key + Pause. If you have one of those Microsoft media keyboards that includes and “F Lock” key.  The F Lock has to be turned OFF for this key combo to work; with F Lock on, the combo operates the Scroll Lock function.Either Windows+Pause or Windows+Break should work. The official listing from Microsoft’s help pages is Windows+Break, but keyboards do vary.

What happens with Windows+The Moon symbol?

I tend to like the N242F USB keyboard.

Thanks for responding to my question. My keyboard that came with the comp is exactly like the top keyboard pictured, with minor cosmetic differences. (the dell logo isnt white it is black recessed.) No F Lock button. The window+sleep(moon) button puts my comp to sleep, so that isnt an option.
