Title: Custom menu on nSpire CAS
Post by: Deathrider on March 28, 2013, 04:02:00 am
Hi all,

as some of you remember, on the old TI-86 there is a custom button that allow the user to specify some function to build a personal menu. I find this feature very useful: one does not have to go searching the functions that are frequently used. My question is: Is it possible to do the same thing on a nSpire? I have two nSpire but still using the TI-86 because of this function!!!! I frequently use conversion operators between decimal and hexadecimal. On TI-86 I have customized the custom menu adding the conversion operators so this operations are really fast and comfortable for me. On the nSpire i cannot find such feature.

First things first, for some reason everyone calls the Nspire the nSpire.
You could do this by creating a small libpub function and putting it in the mylib folder. Then you can call it with [prgmname]\[functionname](arguments)

I know it, but it is not the same thing. I speaking about re-programming a key with a custom menu. For example, if you press the trig key it will show you the trigonometrics functions and you can choose one of them. It is a more practical way to use frequently called functions and operators. I do not need the little flag key (and probably most of users do not need it!): It can be very useful to reprogram it to create a customizable menu that works like the trig menu!!

Hmm, you would need ndless for that.

Ndless and hard reverse engineering...
BTW, the flag key is used by every non-english users in order to input accents.
