In alpha typing mode, pressing [ 0 ] through [ 9 ] on your computer keyboard act as
shortcuts to the alpha functions associated with these keys on the graphing calculator
keyboard. Pressing [ 1 ] enters Y (the alpha character associated with À) on the
graphing calculator screen. To type a number, be sure the keyboard is not in the alpha
typing mode. These keys do enter the digits 0 through 9 in the normal mode.
You can hold down an arrow key to scroll the cursor continuously.
When you use an arrow key to move the cursor, you can hold down the key to scroll the
cursor continuously, instead of having to press the key repeatedly. In the key press
history, the icon for a repeating arrow key has a clock symbol attached to it.
Pressing an arrow key multiple times in a row displays an arrow with a repeat
counter.
When you press an arrow key multiple times in a row, one arrow key is displayed in the
key press history; this arrow key has a number attached to it that shows the
number of times the arrow key was pressed.
Tip: When tracing along graphs or using Cabri™ Jr App to draw geometric shapes, the
computer keyboard arrows may give you smoother continual action as opposed to
using a mouse to click on the emulator arrows.
