I doubt everyone knows what I'm talking about, since not all smartphones have them...

But, just recently I got a Samsung Galaxy S4, and there's a ".com" key on their touch-type keyboards. I've gotten such a habit of using it, that nowadays I automatically look for that key on my PC keyboard.  ^-^

Now... I don't actually want keyboard manufacturers to make that key, but I just thought it's funny that I keep looking for it. :p

So what you're saying, is that we could make a .com key, and map it to ctrl + Enter? That's kind of badass, actually.

ctrl+enter adds www. and .com for you.  for example you could type the following into your address bar:    weather  then hit ctrl + enter, it'll take you to www.weather.com

This is all very well for the US, but what about other countries?

Like sites I visit are usually either .com.au or .net.au or .org.au ...
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Is there anything that can be set by the regional settings of computer?

I do not have F16.  My F16 is really a Do key.

Does Windows even recognise that?
