Hello,
Is there an easy way to unassign all keys en mass in HP Prime. Thank you.
Cheers

The manual suggests to deactivate the user mode (pg. 511).

Not really. Keys are not "assigned" like the 48 style but rather programs are created for them and *when that program function is in scope it will be used*. Basically, if you define a key in a user program (which is global) then it will be global. If you define it in an app program then it will be used only when that app is active.
If you want to turn then off, turning off user keys will do that as stated.

Hello,
I think that is good idea Tim sort of explained. I will play with it to get the hang of it.
Thanks to everybody.
Cheers

Assuming the key assignments are in a single program file.
1) What about simply deleting the program as a definitive key mass unassign ?
2) If the unassign is to be temporary, what about simply introducing an error in the program file in order to make compilation fail ?

Hello,
I have a prgm. to assign some keys named for example "assignxxx" and to unassign I rename copy of "assignxxx" to "unassignxxx" and delete what comes after each "return ???;". It does the job for now. Thanks.
