Re: 43S Alternative key layout

Perhaps I didn't 'sell' the idea enough ... my bad. So, I'll take another run at the ball ... The 43 already is in that sweet spot, functionally speaking. Or as said: "a bit of everything is the magic." What I had intended to communicate was that since some of the 43's keys do function to ...

Re: 43S Alternative key layout

Possible way to go with Menu Keys ... that is visually direct, easy to identify, clean, and more importantly ... uncluttered . In fact, this 'context' method could also be employed to group keys within the same family of operations/functions. HP 28S Calculator - Menu Keys.jpg HP 28S - Menu Key Teatm...

Re: 43S Alternative key layout

Thank you Dani! No worries, I've got plenty of toes ... Ha, Ha :D
The main thing is to keep the ball moving down the field !
Jaymos, you've got the ball ... can't let anyone get in your way ... you're on a roll.

Re: 43S Alternative key layout

Yes, that certainly won't work. This whole endeavour is about precision, excellence, etc etc. I have been able to drag the image back into spec ... but I'm not satisfied. Something got lost in translation (a loss in resolution/crispness) and I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it yet. The pr...

Re: 43S Alternative key layout

Please let me know if there is any sort of problem with the attached templates ... And, of course, the scale and exact positioning of the 'dots' will have to be fine tuned later as the build proceeds. Bright RED: True Colour stored as RGB: 203,18,1 Be aware though that there is considerable variatio...

Re: 43S Alternative key layout

OK. Will take care of the dots as soon as I am freed up. :) One thing that I did notice was that the white alpha-letters seem to get lost in the forest. They end up competing with the the numbers and symbols on the key faces ... which are white as well. In fact, both sets compete with each other. Th...

Re: 43S Alternative key layout

Possible tweak: The letters A-Z in white seem to get lost in the forest. Should their size be increased ... maybe 20% ? Also, a colour change might help too in making them easier to visually lock on to. Perhaps some deep shade of red ...

Re: Creating a custom keyboard

Check out this production video for the DM42. You may find this useful ... that is, if you haven't already seen it yet. (please forgive me if you already have :)
