Another good suggestion is to have 89-style line clearing, where pressing clear from the middle of a line removes everything from there to the end, and pressing it from the beginning or end clears everything.

Omnicalc does this on the 83/84s, but only on the homescreen.  I never really liked it, but I know some people did.  Could this be another option? ;D

Maybe i could have a couple different options, like

regular
Confirm
15 character confirm

and then an 89 style switch where clear does the clearing from that point and onward

I liked it. I wish it did it in PRGM editor, tho. Maybe BBoy could have this in his CLEAR routine?

Yeah i plan to have that as an option :)

Ok so i have the non monospaced fonts working, so it looks a lot better, but the cursor now looks weird because it is always 4 spaces wide, no matter what the width of the character it is on.  What kind of cursor might look good?  A black box like the TiOS?  An underline?  I vertical line before the character?  Invert? What do you guys think?

Vertical line before the char sounds good, as long as it flashes. Otherwise a black box sounds good

The thing about a vertical bar, would it seem like when you type, its expected to behave like on a computer, where the text is inserted instead of being overwriten, do you think that would be ok?  I still want it to behave like the TiOS

Oh yeah didn't thought about that x.x It migth lead to confusion. I guess it might be best to use the black box then

Ok, but just so you know, the black box will have to change size in order to account for different sized characters

Oh its deffinetaly possible, i just wasnt sure it would be appealing.  I am also experimenting with an inverted box instead of a filled one.


Lol i implemented it, but i used token length instead of character width by accident and the cursor got as big as an entire While token XD I fixed it :P

Ya, I my vote is for either black box, inverted, or the underscore line. Sounds like progress is coming along though, keep it up :)

Ok woooo i got inverted and variable sized cursor working! Yayyy, enclosed is a screenshot :)  Note that there is no bounds on the program reading right now so the first and last lines are both displayed incorrectly.  Also note that there is no file editing right now either :P Haha i'll have to write another table of key-to-token conversions before that happens ;D Haha gosh i am going to have a lot of data.  Is there any way to declare it at the *end* of my program so i dont have to scroll through it all the time?
