HP Prime: User
Key: Building a list of Templates
Introduction
You can assign a custom menu to a user key. The program TEMPLATES assigns a list of
functions to the templates key (the key to the right of the Toolbox key, key 18
I believe).
When this program is completed, you call the custom menu by
pressing [Shift], [Help] (User), [template key].
Choose a function or command. Whatever you choose will be inserted into the
entry line. This user key works in
program editing as well.
HP Prime
Program: TEMPLATES
Note: I do not have a
main “TEMPLATES” program block. In terms
of making a custom menu like this, it is not necessary.
// a custom menu
// 2017 EWS
KEY K_Templ()
BEGIN
LOCAL str,lst,cst,ch;
// templates
lst:={"Function.ROOT()",
"Function.AREA()",
"Function.SLOPE()",
"Finance.TvmNbPmt()",
"Finance.TvmIPYR()",
"Finance.TvmPV()",
"Finance.TvmPMT()",
"Finance.TvmFV()"};
// choose list
cst:={"ROOT",
"AREA",
"SLOPE",
"N",
"I%YR",
"PV",
"PMT",
"FV"};
CHOOSE(ch,"Template",cst);
RETURN lst(ch);
END;
This is one of my favorite programs because now I will be
able to quickly access functions that would take additional keystrokes and with
the App specific functions, dealing with dynamic menus. I encourage this type of custom menu for
other functions and commands you frequently use from the catalog. Try it.
Please let me know how it goes.
