44 FAQs and keyboard shortcuts
Note: Some calculators keys have more than one shortcut, but the table
shows only the most straightforward ones. For example, you can also
type 1 by pressing
[Y] (because Y is the alpha character for À on the
calculator). However, it’s much easier to press [1].
Alpha typing mode for A through Z and other characters
When you use ƒ, the keyboard switches automatically to its alpha
typing mode, where pressing
[A] gives you an A, not the  key.
1. Click ƒ on the TI-SmartView™ screen or press
[F7] on the
keyboard.
The cursor changes to .
2. Press the applicable key.
Keys without an associated alpha character act the same as they do in the
normal shortcut mode. For example, [F1] is still a shortcut to o.
After you type the alpha character, the keyboard returns to its normal
shortcut mode.
Note:
• To lock the alpha key so you can type multiple alpha characters, click
y 7 or press [F6] [F7]. To unlock the alpha key, click ƒ or
press
[F7].
• In alpha typing mode,
[0] through [9] act the same as Ê through ®
on the calculator. Pressing
[1] types Y (the alpha character for À),
not 1. To type a number, be sure the keyboard is not in the alpha
typing mode. For example, to type TEST1, press either:
– [F7] [T] [F7] [E] [F7] [S] [F7] [T] [1]
–or [ F6 ] [ F7 ] [ T ] [ E ] [ S ] [ T ] [ F7 ] [ 1 ].
• When you are prompted to enter a name for a program or group, the
calculator locks the alpha key automatically.
