Question by unicorn: what does 'tab' on the computer keyboard stand for? Best answer for what does 'tab' on the computer keyboard stand for?:

Answer by Bob
It doesn't stand for anything. It's just a term used for a blank spot larger than a space. Think about it as putting a folder tab at the spot where you want the tab to go, which adds space (generally to mark the beginnings of paragraphs).

There's not much for easy to find origins of the key name in computing, but personally I would say it either comes from the words "tabulate" or "tableau" ... I say tabulate because it originally functioned to add a specific number of blank spaces onto a typed page (before computer screens) and begin at the next letter location on the same line. Basically pacing the carriage an added-up distance from the last typed letter. I say tableau because since the computer screens outnumbered the typed pages, the function of switching between input lines for forms and multiple data requests by programs has become more often used than simply adding a customized number of spaces in a word processor document. The word tableau would refer to jumping across cells in a table in a spreadsheet or a dialog box. Plz keep searching though ... I *USED TO* know the answer to this a long time ago ... G'Luck!! ...

Hi, it is short for 'Tabulate' and was used on Typewriters in the pre-computer age, indeed it still is used. On a Typewriter it was a mechanical stop which the typist set to a certain position along the carriage so that they could either indent the text or enter text in some sort of readable list format ie. columns of 'description' and 'quantity' where the text entered was all lined up and presentable in the columns. When the Tabulate key was pressed it moved the carriage to the stop that was set by the typist, then whatever was typed next started from that position. This feature was carried over onto computer keyboards, but instead of a mechanical stop the computer uses digital ones.

aboutcomputer99.blogspot.com Setting up your Logitech Tablet Keyboard Stand

When it comes to purchasing a piano keyboard stand, you should know that there are quite a few options available. It is important that you have an appropriate stand to hold your musical instrument in place for every practice or gig you partake in. It's important to note that a certain keyboard may not fit with every stand on the market. Therefore, it's vital that you learn more about the different types so you can choose the right one for you.

 

There are a couple of styles of stands that resemble letters of the alphabet. The most common keyboard stand that most people choose is the X type stand. This type of device is comprised of two legs that cross in the center to form the letter. They lock in this location to properly stand up and hold your keyboard. Some of these stands come with optional legs that will assist the frame in being sturdier and less likely to move.

The stand can be collapsed to save room on storage.

 

The Z frame piano keyboard stand is another option that resembles a letter of the alphabet. This one is a bit harder to work with, as most are not adjustable regarding their height. Those that are adjustable are difficult to operate. The metal is locked together, and many of them are not collapsible.

 

You can also choose to invest in a keyboard stand that can hold more than one musical instrument at once. The two tier stand typically uses the X or Z frame legs. It allows you to have access to your keyboard and a midi unit or synthesizer at the same time. This is important because some songs call for both instruments to be played simultaneously.

 

An even more convenient option for some is a 3 tier piano keyboard stand.

This will allow you to hold a keyboard, synthesizer, computer, or other device needed for your concert. These are usually heavier than the other types of stands, so keep this is mind when transporting your equipment.

 

When it comes to choosing the right keyboard stand for your band, it primarily boils down to your personal preferences and needs. If you use more than just a keyboard for your performances, you may want to invest in a stand that provides you with more than one tier. The differences in the frames are basically up to you to choose, as the X and Y are both good stand designs. However, some prefer one type over the other.

 

Choosing the right piano keyboard stand is important to keep your instrument safe and accessible as you play. You want to be sure you only purchase one that is made of quality materials. This is usually not a small investment, so you need to get one that will last you a few years.
