El Reg reports on upcoming keyboard ideas from Toshiba:

Toshiba USA has revealed that it will add a key dedicated to summoning Cortana, Windows 10's digital assistant.

Toshiba's Jeff Barney, the company's veep and GM for all things PC in North America, says the new button will appear on every keyboard the company sells.

PCWorld reports that "the key will sit in the upper left area, near the function keys".

A quick glance at the many keyboards in Vulture Souths eyrie suggests that this means the ESC key is in peril.

    he he... so how long has it been since "esc" would return you to command line. For the last 10 years or so about all it does is "escape" from "full screen".

    Esc = No, Cancel, Back out. Enter=Yes, OK, proceed
    Try thumping it some time, it's handy :-)
