Tab


Why is there only one tab key?

Don't you wish there was one on each side of the keyboard?

We have 2 windows keys.....
We have 2 Alt keys......
We have 2 Ctrl keys......

I know why!
Somebody must have patented the "concept" of 2 tab keys!

Oh Well.....


Seriously though, does anyone have a keyboard with 2 tab keys?

Maybe I'm just an idiot

Probably because Tab isn't a modifier key (changes the behavior of some other key), and the rest you mention are.

My keyboards don't have this "windows"-key ; they're from way before that:
Rock-Solid and the keys at least "klick".
I LOVE these old IBM "machine-guns".
