Seperti komen saya tentang Enter:
nama-nama kekunci sebaiknya tak usah diterjemahkan, supaya pengguna tak keliru dan tercari-cari mana kekunci Tab, Esc, Ctrl, Enter, dsb.

agree  AAAS: This depends on situation. We will write as "tekan butang "ESCAPE"" because on the keyboard it is printed as ESCAPE. But, in Malay we call "ESCAPE" key as KEKUNCI LEPASAN.
