kCopying with Drag and Drop
You can also copy a string of text by simply selecting it and then dragging it to another location that allows text
input.
Example 1: To use the Main application to perform the calculation 15 + 6 × 2, edit to (15 + 6) × 2, and then
re-calculate
1. In the Main application work area, perform the calculation below.
c15+6*2E
2. Drag across the 15 + 6 × 2 expression to select it, and then drag the
expression to the .
• This will copy 15 + 6 × 2 to the location where you dropped it.
3. Add parentheses before and after 15 + 6 and then press E.
Tip: You can use drag and drop to copy both input formulas and calculation results.
Example 2: To copy an expression you input with the Main application to the Graph Editor window
1. In the Main application work area, input: 2
x^2 + 2x − 1.
c2x{2+2x-1E
2. On the right end of the toolbar, tap the down arrow button. On the button
palette that appears, tap !.
• This will display the Graph Editor window in the bottom half of the screen.
3. Select the 2
x^2 + 2x − 1 expression you input with the Main application by
dragging across it, and then drag the expression to the located to the right
of y1: on the Graph Editor window.
• This will copy 2
x^2 + 2x − 1 to the location where you dropped it.
Tip
• An expression you copy using the operation above is registered to the Graph Editor
window of the Graph & Table application. For information about Graph Editor window
operations, see Chapter 3.
• Depending on the destination to which you drag a character string or an expression,
the drop operation may cause it to be converted automatically to a graph or a
figure. For example, dropping the expression in Example 2 into the Graph window will graph the expression. Refer to the
locations provided below to see examples using drag and drop.

Various Soft Keyboard Operations
This section explains how to use each of the soft keyboard key sets. For information about key set types and a
general overview of key sets, see “Soft Keyboard Key Sets” (page 18). All of the examples in this section assume
the following conditions.
• The Main application is running. See “Built-in Applications” (page 14).
• The soft keyboard is displayed. See “Using the Soft Keyboard” (page 18).
