Re: 43S Alternative key layout --> WP43C
"Caps Lock" on = f[Up]
"Caps Lock" off / "Num Lock" off = f[Dn]
"Num Lock" on = f [ENTER]
Shift digits up = g[up]
subscripts = g[Dn]
No f- positions needed on the first three lines.
Or provide this ALPHA mode as a special mode in parallel to the more WP43S-typical way of text processing as a configuration, such as eRPN? Then the digits could stay on the f-keys, for those who like it.

Re: 43S Alternative key layout --> WP43C
I am working through the previous mails. Also I have finished implementing the numLock = g[Up] and g[Dn] and capsLock = f[Up] and f[Dn] which I like a lot.Dani R. wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 7:35 pm"Caps Lock" on = f[Up]

I also like this latest suggestion to remove super/sup and the C and N toggles a lot. Even though they could arguably stay but not on the template, resulting in a clean top three lines without distractions.
l see the single character sup/subscript also as being foreign. Maybe we should lock the sub/sub too. I see an interesting solution since the modes are mutually exclusive: Context sensitive f[Up] & f[Dn]: It is possible to set 6 modes with four arrow buttons, excluding the ENTER involvement. My mind sees this very logical, shifting levels up and down. But I need comment if it is overloading!
Define three modes or levels: +1=numlock, 0=caps & no numlock, -1=no caps
Let f[Up] add 1, and f[Dn] subtract 1, clipping to the extremes, i.e. no wraparound.
f[Up]: if (0)default "A" then (1)turn numlock on.
f[Up]: if (-1)"a" then (0)turn caps lock on.
f[Dn]: if (1)numlock then (0)clear numlock.
f[Dn]: if (0)"A" then (-1)caps lock off.
Define three modes or levels: +1=superscript, 0=normal, -1=subscript.
Let g[Up] add 1, and g[Dn] subtract 1, clipping to the extremes, i.e. no wraparound.
g[Up]: if (0)normal then turn (1)superscript lock
g[Up]: if (-1)subscript lock, turn (0)normal
g[Dn]: if (1)superscript lock, turn (0)normal
g[Dn]: if (0)normal then turn (-1)subscript lock
This makes it easy to comprehend and indicated as previously stated A/a/Ω/𝞈/ℕ/n/↑/↓.
f is caps/num locks and g is sup/sub locks. Up to increase locks. Dn to decrease locks.
How does it sound? Or is it another brain fart ?

Re: 43S Alternative key layout --> WP43C
The pudding proof!
What is the metric tensor in imperial units?
Re: 43S Alternative key layout --> WP43C
I would cope with it. I'm not sure yet if everyone can handle it. Pudding proof, why not.
I think if Caps/Num Lock is changed, subscript/superscript should also be deleted.
Probably the state of Caps/Num Lock should not be saved persistently, but always start with Caps Lock when the AIM is opened again.

Re: 43S Alternative key layout --> WP43C
I still like the shifting of superscript and subscript to g[Up] and g[Dn], latched, still. I hope we will not hinder any other application in the long run.
A question: Is HOME supported and needed in AIM? Otherwise we could use additional triple click for "Num Lock" on/off.
I see no compelling reason why f[ENTER] and g[ENTER] should not be used in AIM, but maybe a certain restraint is quite appropriate.

Re: 43S Alternative key layout --> WP43C
Triple click! I'm less than not convinced that shall be good UI design. Though this is my personal view only.
WP43 SN00000, 34S, and 31S for obvious reasons; HP-35, 45, ..., 35S, 15CE, DM16L S/N# 00093, DM42β SN:00041
Re: 43S Alternative key layout --> WP43C
Well, it is extremely easy to taste, pudding wise, as the code for the triple click HOME is mature, and the behaviour for AIM was already there albeit in empty curly brackets up to now. Done.
It works nicely and since you need triple click in AIM for nothing else, until it bothers someone may stay
I am almost ready with a test release, testing many of the things discussed here. Dani, I will mail you in a short time to get a Windows version compiled for tasting, for when you do have some time to eat
