HP49g keyboard shortcuts
Message #1 Posted by Alexander DeLarge on 18 Nov 2007, 5:01 p.m.

There are some well-known built-in shortcuts on the keyboard of 49g. For 1.19-5 or higher there are many:

愛-shift HOLD Enter - changes between exact and approximate mode. 嵯own - opens appropriate editor for item on level one of the stack or history 愛ight - swaps items on level one (RPN only) 愈p - accesses stack or history. Similar to HIST button 微eft - starts picture view to look at last graph or picture 愛-shift Down - displays full names of items in soft menu 愛-shift Right - X-modem server mode 愛-shift HOLD Right - Kermit server mode 微-shift TOOL - toggles real/complex mode 愛-shift Function keys - recalls object 微-shift Function keys - stores object (RPN only) 微-shift HOLD PREV - jumps to the last menu you were in. (So if you go from the PRG menu into the MTH menu, this will jump back to the PRG menu) 微-shift HOLD UPDIR - goes back to home, no matter how far down in a directory you are 愚ODE +/- ENTER - toggles between Algebraic/RPN mode

Well, my biggest question is, are there even more build-in shortcuts on the 49g?

Here's a few more I use.

L-shift[hold] MODE - Old Modes menu from 48S/G (L-shift CST on 48G)
R-shift[hold] 9 - Old Time menu from 48S/G (L-shift 4 on 48G)
R-shift[hold] 7 - Assorted solver menus (can get to the original 48S solver in here)

There aren't any hidden shortcuts for the old 48S/G Plot and Stat menus, unfortunately, but you can assign short programs to keys of your choice to pull them up:

\<< 96.01 MENU \>>
83.3
ASN

...Gives you the Stat menu on USER R-shift 5, for example. Add a SysRPL takeover to the program object to make this work even if you're in an editor (use the \->TO? command from the Keyman library.)

Hi Alexander.
You might want to download the 49G+ Advanced User's Reference Manual and have a look at its Appendix G, "Keyboard Shortcuts".
You may find many helpful shortcuts, also because they say it's
