Back to the roots. F1 .. F6 are Sigma+ .. XEQ, therefore TOP.FCN is necessary again. SETUP is now on the ALPHA-button (new added). O.K. the buttons does not correspondent to the display. Some drawing lines may help.

I suppose the FCN or Rv key could be swapped with an ALPHA/SETUP key as well.

@Dani R.: Hmmh, little surprise. But how do you want to implement menu keys? :P (BTW, even an US American keyboard should allow for a capital sigma. :roll: )

@tycho: What shall FCN do?
WP43 SN00000, 34S, and 31S for obvious reasons; HP-35, 45, ..., 35S, 15CE, DM16L S/N# 00093, DM42β SN:00041

Available on the Free42 web site skins page (look for tyge_nova_L_v2 in the Android section).

Sorry Thomas, I was too vague. I meant it was a big redesign compared to the DMXX (credit card sized) or DMXXL format because of the screen positioning

I was too lazy to look for the ASCII code for Sigma and I still am. I think I use the same keyboard layout as David and Michael.

The menu keys should work as in Free42 or HP-42S. The problem is, of course, that the keys and labels in the display do not correspond. In addition to drawing lines, it is also possible to create the affiliation of a label and the corresponding key with different colored bars. I spontaneously think of brown, red, orange, yellow, green and blue for F1 .. F6.

If I recall, the layout builder that Michael posted a link to doesn't allow the sigma symbol. I could be wrong.
