@keithdalby: annunciators are annunciators are annunciators - invisible annunciators are no annunciators!
@all: Do you really need x: and y: displayed? What could be done with that space? Just food for thought ...

Re: Landscape DM42?
Up, Down, Shift and RAD indicators. The entire area can be used for the Running and Printing indicators. Grads? Maybe drop the right leg of the Greek letter Pi to make an uppercase Gamma--Gamma for Grads? Its a stretch.

Re: Landscape DM42?
What about either x: and y:, or x: and the menu? We already have a way to toggle the menu.
I believe in free will. Just can't help it.
Re: Landscape DM42?
Gamma for Grads is a stretch for me - but what are the alternatives? How would you represent radians / degrees?

Methinks the ENTER key should be shifted one row to the right, next to the numeric keys. Anybody else?Mark Hardman wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 1:38 am
Could not resist the opportunity to move the 42s primary operator keys to where god intended--the left.

Re: Landscape DM42?
For the annunciators, how about this:
Lower line: shift, degrees, rad, grad (the latter three compete for the same space).

Re: Landscape DM42?
I like. Although a degrees annunciator is perhaps not necessary?

Re: Landscape DM42?
Agreed.
So the next question is: how hard is this to implement?
Re: Landscape DM42?
And perhaps the UP / DOWN ARROW keys a few columns to the left? They seem to me like a job for my left thumb. Perhaps to column #3 from the left, it feels kind of "right" to let the SHIFT and EXIT keys have column #2.H2X wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 12:43 pmMethinks the ENTER key should be shifted one column (edit) to the right, next to the numeric keys.

Re: Landscape DM42?
Much better than Pi and Gamma. Since the original 42s has no degree annunciator, I think it is unnecessary.
