I spilled some water on my computer, and the only the only key that doesn't work now is the Tab key. I don't want to get a whole new keyboard just for the one key, so is there any way for me to switch the Tab key function to a different key? I've already tried the Spark program, but that didn't work because I needed the Tab function to work in order to switch it.

Any thoughts? Can I switch it using terminal? Thanks!

How long has it been since you spilled water on your computer? If it hasn't been very long, maybe in a couple days things it will dry out more completely, and start working again.
