Disagree. During input it assumes you will continue in #16. It doesn't know. You can always change your mind and close with #15 or [.] or whatever else.

Re: 43S News
I find it easier to test the 43S with my mod in the 43S tree, which indicates the functions not available in the softmenus and catalog.
The version is exactly the same as published by OverScore yesterday, with the only change that it marks unavailable functions with a short diagonal line. It does not indicate all unavailable functions though, but it does the majority. It helps me to navigate functions and find bugs.
Below a typical screen when the simulator is open on a catalog screen:

Re: 43S News
I find the idea very interesting! I am going to test it out.

Re: 43S News
Hmmh. Instead of crossing things out we should focus on getting things done, shouldn't we?

Re: 43S News
You are right ! But it's only 2 minutes. So it's done.

Re: 43S News
Your method is a lot more elegant, so I ditched my method and used yours.
But I shortened the lines again, because I don't like the long diagonals reaching corner to corner on some screens and also I prefer the inverting of the pixels
Best

Re: 43S News
The footnote 116 does not correspond with the operation, hence my question. As per my OP, p132 is not clear, including footnote 116.Walter wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 10:33 pmNo, it isn't. Please see footnote 116 on p. 132 of the OM.Jaymos wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 8:26 pmHow do we enter a longint once you are in shorting last base mode?
The OM p132 is not clear on this.
RESET 7#8 ENTER, produces 7 base 8 in X and Y.
4 ENTER, produces 4 base 8 in X and Y.
I cannot find a way out, except to type 1. [<-] [<-]
Is this the only way?
Let me quote footnote 116: "This shortcut will be left as soon as you enter a [.], [E], CC] or [#] in input, even if deleted thereafter." The shortcut is not left after "#", in fact, it just moves the cursor to the base position, and also EXIT does not work to get out. My understanding of 116 is that the # should disappear when has is pressed, so as to go to normal longint/real/shorting entry.
The question remains how to get out of short integer entry to longint entry with first going to real or shortint entry [.] then backspacing the [.] or [#], and pressing [ENTER] to enter the longint. It seems this IS the only way.

Re: 43S News
Ok, p. 132 reads
So it's clear that "this shortcut" means the entry of short integers of the same base as before. You observed [#] correctly - this is the functionality intended to allow for switching entry to another base.
But you want to enter a long integer, e.g. 1234, so please press [.][<-] 1234 and you're done. Please compare:
Switching to reals is even easier: just enter the number desired.
BTW, said footnote doesn't mention [EXIT] at all.
and points to footnote 116 then, with its first sentence reading as you quoted above.From the second integer input on, you can save keystrokes: If you enter a number omitting [#] and base (as well as [.], [E], and [CC] ), your WP 43S takes it as a short integer of the same base you keyed in before – as long as you did not enter any other data type in between.

But you want to enter a long integer, e.g. 1234, so please press [.][<-] 1234 and you're done. Please compare:
I saved you two keystrokes, 50% of what you thought being necessary.

Re: 43S News
There will be two optimations on the keyboard regarding alpha functionality:
- The menu αINTL contains all Latin letters for a while now, so there's no reason for attaching it to [+] anymore. It moves to f-shifted A.
- Hence, the printer character ⎙ can move to g-shifted [+] where also ⎙x is located.

Re: 43S News
If I press f-shift followed by g-shift, then no shift is active. Wouldn't it be better if g-shift was active, similar to the behaviour of the HP 32SII?
