What does tab computer slang mean?

Answer 1

The tab button goes over a certain amount of spaces at a time so you don't have to push the space bar so many times. It also switches typing spaces, like if you have one box you can type in on the internet, like in your email, the username, for example, stevejobs@mac.com on the first line, and press tab, you can keep typing but in the password line, for example, *******.

Answer 2

I would say computer slang (or text talk) is just to help us type fast, and have fun! here is a website with 'slang' words although many of these are rarely used. http://www.netlingo.com/acronyms.php/

Answer 3

Tabs with browsers is where you keep multiple sites open at once with the ability to flip back and forth at any given time. The tab key on your computer works like a space bar except it jumps a set number of characters ahead.
