Why is there an extra enter key next to the spacebar? And don't say "for the same reason there are two Command and shift keys"...![]()

so you don't have to move your hand while doing regular typing
the other one is so you don't have to move your hand while using the number pad.
i thought this was half obvious. -

Hrm, in retrospect, I guess it is glaringly obvious. Ah well, I never use the laptop in numpad mode...maybe I should start heh.

I think it's for when you use the keyboard as a NumberPad it's easier to reach the enter key.

I don't think the enter key is that obvious. I'd do a lot better with some other key there, another control or alt. I think though that the codes for Enter (large key) and Enter (numpad) are different. So maybe OS X needs them both. I've never noticed a difference in Windows, but I've had Linux programs respond differently.
