Kind of. You start with a keyboard suited for context and go from there. I did not think of using formats to provide different menus, but this may be interesting idea.

In my vision you still have to follow through the sequence of shift keys to reach deep down functions. The improvement comes in a form that as you descend, each next menu (keyboard) presents in a clear way what choices are available. There is nothing special in this idea -- all menus do just that, however here I am blending menu and virtual keyboard for (hopefully) better ui.

Where is the space so we can enter a formula within a cell without needing to reference another?

Havent got to that part yet. I want to make a "calculator" part first. So far I replaced indicator and memory registers with a spreadsheet, next I am trying to do dynamic keyboard/menu to implement standard scientific functions to see how and if that idea of keyboard-as-menu even works.
