Key assignment - cmjaanes - 05-15-2021 11:44 AM
I am a newbie to HP Prime. Hope somebody can help. I use RPN.
Challenge: I use the function COMBINATIONS often and therefore want to assign COMB() to the SHIFT-7 user key.
I write a program as follows:
KEY KS_7()
BEGIN
RETURN "COMB";
END
I run the program.
It works, but I have to press an annoying ENTER everytime to evaluate.
Example:
5
enter
2
USER-SHIFT-7
This places "COMB" on the stack and I have to press ENTER to evaluate the result and then get the expected result (10) placed in the X register.
I would like "COMB" to be executed automatically by the program in such a way that immediately after I press "USER SHIFT 7", I get 10 in the x register.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
Rgds

I don’t think so, but could be wrong (I don’t use RPN).
This thread may be relevant.

Thanks for the reply and for the very relevant link.
Too bad you can not access the RPN stack and issue an ENTER from a user key in RPN mode.
