How come my tab and delete keys stopped working?
I think I did some weird combo of key strokes that caused it. But how do I get them back????

1. I usually fix that by putting the keyboard in the dishwasher
No more tab or delete key problems after that. Just make sure you don't use the high temperature cycle.

2. that's ridiculous !!!

problems with "special keys", like the tab and delete keys, usually occur when you're running low on keyboard ink ...

check the ink reservoir on your keyboard or just try putting in a new keyboard ribbon ...

3. Umm, yeah, and, it could be as simple as a broken Finnegan Pin
For some reason everyone always overlooks the Finnegan Pin but it sure can cause a lot of trouble.
