Took six keypresses to get into a variable/program and save it. Now it's seven keypresses, editing notwithstanding of course. Doesn't seem like a lot but for some reason in my mind it's a bigger pain now.

If the variable name is visible in the VAR menu, press right-shift then the variable name to recall it to the stack. then press the down-arrow key to edit.

Note: Algebraic expressions and matrices will be edited in the Equation Writer or Matrix Writer respectively. To edit them as ordinary stack objects, press left-shift down-arrow.

Another related keyboard shortcut: in the VAR menu, pressing right-shift down-arrow will show the full names of all 6 visible variables along with the first few characters of each. In other menus only the full names are displayed. This can be handy to see the proper spelling of a command or to differentiate between variables whose names share the first several letters.
