The scroll lock button seems to be a reminder of the good old green terminal days. Does anyone still use it? Should the 101 button keyboard become the 100 button keyboard?

The Scroll Lock key doesn't do anything: it doesn't even lock scrolling as its name suggests.
Recently, while reviewing customer comments related to scrolling in a spreadsheet, I discovered that a lot of folks have run into this issue. Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key on the keyboard, just like the CAPS LOCK key. Once pressed, Scroll Lock is enabled. To turn it off, simply press the Scroll Lock key again.
Scroll Lock is the feature that controls the behavior of the arrow keys in Excel. Usually, when the Scroll Lock is disabled, arrow keys move you between individual cells in any direction: up, down, left or right.
In Excel, if you turn on scroll lock, using the arrow keys scrolls the spread sheet instead of changing the cell the cursor is in.
