Tab key: History & Applications

A tab key Tab ↹ is a key on a typical computer or typewriter keyboard that controls input. On a typewriter, it advances the insertion point to the next tab stop. In computing, sometimes it has the same behavior, but based on context, it is used for many other operations as well. For a typewriter, the terms tabulator key and tabular key were also used.
