41: All that HYPe about... Message #1 Posted by 聲gel Martin on 22 Oct 2009, 8:22 a.m.
Much has been written and discussed about keyboard layout and convenience of the different design choices for keystroke selection. In particular referred to the seldom-used hyperbolic functions (some more seldom than others, arguably).
Here's a simple, elegant and well-though out solution to the problem:
1. have a HYP "prefix" key that supports direct and inverse functions - like in the SANDMATH module
2. assign it to SHIFT-SHIFT - so it doesn't take any extra key and still maintains the global keyboard logic.
Examples:
SHIFT, SHIFT, SIN = SINH
SHIFT, SHIFT, SHIFT, SIN = ASINH
Did I hear too many shifts? You can't have it all - it's rather fast once you get the hung of it.
Tag. You're on :)
