"Apple giveth" Did Apple really invent the escape key?

  They didn't have it on the original Apple keyboard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Keyboard#/media/File:Apple_Macintosh_Plus_Keyboard.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Keyboard#/media/File:App...

    I believe that's a Mac keyboard. The original Apple I and II keyboards had an Esc key. http://www.hp9845.net/9845/history/comparison/images/closeups/apple2-top-view.jpg http://www.hp9845.net/9845/history/comparison/images/closeup... The modern Mac owes as much to NeXT as it does to the classic Mac. NeXT also had an escape key ...and the ctrl key in the right place! :) http://xahlee.info/kbd/i/NeXT_Computer_keyboard_66682.jpg http://xahlee.info/kbd/i/NeXT_Computer_keyboard_66682.jpg
