I was looking through ti83plus.inc, bored with nothing to do, when I found a few lines under the keypress equates.
kdbSquare equ kDiamond+58
kDiagOn EQU kE2BT2+150
kDiagOff EQU kE2BT2+151
Then there were a bunch of "dia" keys like:
kDiaA
kDiaB
and so on. The same thing applied to square keys. However, no flag related to diamond appeared. Can someone please explain this to me? |

| The diamond ones refers to the "shift" key on the TI keyboard. No idea what the squares are though... |

| I wonder if anyone could make an interrupt to add diamond and square buttons to useres without a keyboard? It would be a great addition to any apps. |

| What I mean is, let's say, you press 2nd twice, you would be able to access an entire new set of keys if you didn't use a keyboard. |

| Well... that would be something different. You could do that in pretty much the same way lowercase is done. It's not really a "diamond" key or a "square" key. It's just another tap of the same button to get to more features. |

no, you couldnt...
lowercase is done by a simple flag set/res
this would have to include hooks and a bunch of other crap...
the main thing the diamond and square keys are for is to add it so that something like diamond+1 would be like pressing Y= etc.
no added functionality is used with diamond or square keys. (that would be useful without the keyboard) |

| I would imagine they are used in much the same way as we might use the ctrl key or the alt key. Just shortcut keys, nothing more. |

true... like diamond+Q == 2nd+Quit
diamond+1 == F1(Y=)
diamond+2 == F2(Window)
diamond+3 == F3(Zoom)
diamond+4 == F4(Trace)
etc. etc. etc.
look in the .pdf manual to know more... |

| I don't think that would be useful much on the normal keyboard... |
