ABSTRACT:
An enhanced data entry keyboard apparatus and method positions a tab key proximate the numeric keyboard section of a computer keyboard, so that a user may depress the tab key with the same hand that is being used to operate the numeric keyboard, without moving that hand from the area of the numeric keyboard. In one embodiment, a toggle key is provided to permit the toggling of a second key, preferably the “enter” key located in the lowest right-hand corner of a typical keyboard, between its default function and a “tab” function. A status indicator light may be provided to indicate that toggling has occurred.
