Children building toys… not men designing machines, sadly. The computer industry today - short voice activation, which is the real goal - has more interfaces to what should be a STANDARD MECHANICAL DEVICE than the automotive industry ever came up with in more than 200 years of development. Going back & forth is the real issue because people develop a natural kinesthetic reflex response to the keyboard they have, the smartphone they have, etc. This ones handy because you can use it to browse. My dad (to whom I provide endless free computer tech support) has the short keyboard. If you have a cell reference or range selected when you hit F4, Excel cycles through available references. The maddening thing… is that you have to use different keyboard sequences depending on the keyboard you have.

However, most computer professionals use the standard wide-QWERTY keyboard with attached number pad that has paging function buttons (page up, page down, arrow, etc.) Unfortunately, on most iMac models they ship (by default) the shorter office keyboard. Actually… what you can do ALSO depends on which Apple keyboard you are using.
