Np.   I think in terms of AutoHotkey.   Enter and NumpadEnter.

What does KBC call the bigass Enter key?


We call it 'big enter' and the Europen one we call it '7 enter'

I just checked...

ISO/IEC 9995-2 (alphanumeric section) says the key on the right-hand end of of third row provides the return function. There is a recommendation that the key is also enlarged to the row above.

ISO/IEC 9995-4 (numeric section) says the key in the bottom right of the numeric keypad is the addition or enter key, although the symbol may be language dependent.

But what do those guys know?

My insider source tells me the current working draft for the 2011 amendment states "if the key for the function 'Return' is provided in an enlarged form so that it is allocated in both row C and row D, it should be denoted 'BigAss Enter' when the greater proportion is in row C or 'Freedom Enter' when the greater proportion is in row D".

The reverse 'L' (bigass) or the really big one (BIGass)?

(ouch... I mistyped a 'b' as an 'n'...)

My dog is the fuzzy one in the middle researching the origin of "dogleg".  However the husky's rear leg in the forefront is the classic example.

Further ruminations on this, the first thing I could find that used this style of Return was the Selectric II -



If you compare it with the original Selectric layout, you can see that it came from them taking a bite out of the Selectric's return key to fit in an extra key along the row above the home row.



Some of IBM's competitors used it, such as DEC on their VT100 terminal and some DECwriter teletypes



Some versions of the Displaywriter used it.



It seems when they came to make the AT layout, they took the above Displaywriter layout and mashed on bits of the XT layout to make it more suitable for PC usage.

Other question:  Isn't this NOT the most common Enter key found on Mainland China?

This girl looks Korean to me.

I asked my girlfriend, she says that the BigAss Enter key is indeed the most common one for desktop keyboards in Mainland. Laptops usually have a proper ANSI Enter key though.

Enter like a boss.
The Enter key is all right, and so is the backspace. But the left-hand shift key is too small and too far away. And, of course, since it's a keyboard for typing in Japanese, the space bar is too small as well.
