Abstract: A computer software key guide holder (10, 110, 210, 310, 410) includes an elongated multi-sided display member (16, 116, 216, 316, 416) within a support member (12, 112, 212, 312, 312) for positioning and retaining atop a computer keyboard (KB). The display member (16, 116, 216, 316, 416) is adapted to receive and display a plurality of software key guides (KG1-n) aligned with the function keys for indicating software functions available by depressing a combination of function keys (F1-12) and control keys (CK1-3). The software key guides (KG1-n) include templates made of thin material and having a plurality of columns (C1-12) associated with each function key and a plurality of rows (R1-4) associated with a control key and intersecting the columns (C1-12) providing individual boxes for marking the function thereon. The rows (R1-2) are of uniform color different from an adjacent row (R1-4) such that each box associated with a particular function key is of a different color.
