If Wikipedia is correct in that vi was originally written on ADM-3A
terminals (I think I also read that on here at one time as well) and
that this particular terminal had it's escape key where nearly all
modern keyboards have a tab key, it kinda makes sense.
Here's the page, for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi
Indeed. And it didn't have tab key, did it ?
I use the "mini-keyboard" (measures 29x11cm).
I love it becaise everything is nearby. Fingers need to traver less.
And takes less space on the crammed desktop :-)
Another nice relevant link is this keyboard:

optimis keyboard where every key is a [color] display
