Keyboard with an additional column or two of buttons down one side with commonly used HTML tags.
Example:
<b> would be a single key, and </b> could be reached by hitting the same key while holding shift.
Other tags would include link, image, title, head and body. A more complex version might have
table settings, too.
Also available for other programming languages.

I suppose it might be nice to have labels, when you're learning the layout... but do you really want a keyboard that specialized? Maybe it's better just to have customizable labels for the function keys. (Older keyboards often had removable/replaceable "key caps", though today's modern ultra-cheap keyboards don't.) |

It would be super high tech if the keys had little screens in them that could be programmed to display whatever. A low-tech solution would be key caps, or just a little plastic window you could put labels behind. |

(Remember those keyboard overlays that used to come with WordPerfect and the like?) |

Oh, and way back when, early microcomputers (like the Timex/Sinclair) had labelled keys for each of the BASIC keywords they supported. There was a "PRINT" key, a "GOTO" key, an "IF" key... you had to press a special modifier to get ordinary characters. |

I don't remember where I put the link, but CuteHTML for the PC is a program that will fill in tag options as soon as you start to type them.. very useful, especially if you can't remember anything at all, like me. |

I've taken HTML class and built a few (dozen) web pages and I think having a keyboard like that would be spiffy. Just something *really* simple! THAT'S ALL I ASK!!!!!!!!!! |

I can just see it now: Microsoft adds a new tag to Internet Explorer. By some strange coincidence, the Microsoft HTML Keyboard released at the same time supports this tag, which the older keyboards don't. |
