Keeping tabs.*Tab* is the common name for the small metal fixture atop soda cans that allows you to *pop* open the can. That's why (in the USA, anyway), the drink is called *pop* (just kidding !!!).
*Tab* is also the name of the label area (sometimes a plastic or metal holder affixed to the folder) on a file folder. It's also the name of the label itself.
Computer tab-key.
*Keeping tabs* is a colloquialism or idiom (common phrase) meaning keeping up-with or keeping a running-record on somebody or some thing.

I loved it. It's very simple and easy, but oh-so very fun.
I almost thought that those clues were for different things... So, I didn't quite catch it before I peeked at the answer. I thought maybe it was some new device he created called a TTA... Im dumb.
good, but easy.......keep it up!
I got it right. Yay me! For the key on the keyboard, I thought that it was Caps Lock. Which would sort of make sense when you think about it.
That was pretty simple. I liked it!
I thought he was recycling. Good one! I liked it! Keep on posting all of ur teasers!
real simple. . But, It was real fun!
quite simple but challenging at the same time.

I found it extremely vague. A good riddle is sussinct and specific, but forces you to think outside the box. Forgive me, it's only my opinion.
ill show u mine if you show me yours
yours
That was easy but fun. Enjoyed it!
BB and kb123:
Maybe someone should be "keeping tabs on you" ... Is it Show and Tell Time? Ah, come on...we all want to know...exactly what are you showing??!!

To Teh ... it's about as succinct as I could make it, but it's still a vague "riddle" (that's why it's in the OTHER cat and not in the RIDDLE cat). Thanks for pointing that out so sussinctly well, however.
To KB123; OK ... I've now shown you "yours" above (which, of course, was mine). Now ... do we get to see "mine" (which, I suppose, is yours??) Huh ??
To froggy .... Lemme tell 'ya ...
When you get to my age it's more like; "I'll show you yours if you'll show me mine" !!
