RE: Please can you beta-test this unusual Free42 skin
One of the things I struggled with in putting EXIT beside ENTER was having LOG & LN beside them. Keystroke efficiency dictated I put the y^x, 1/x, √x row as close as possible to the numbers because they are the most frequently used functions. Next comes LOG, LN and then the trig functions (in my experience). Moving EXIT (which I think I really want to do now) has brought me to the attached graphic. Your immediate reaction will be to gag at CLEAR being decoupled from the backspace key - but think about the ergonomics. When you go shift-backspace in the current layout you next have travel to tap on the screen so that's bad from an efficiency standpoint. Given that you'll quickly get used to the new location of the CLEAR, you'll instantly see the benefit of the ergonomics of doing e.g. a CLX - it'll be as fast as possible! That also led to the realization that (ideally) you want as many shifted functions that invoke menus to be right there on the top row. That rationale made me swap PRGM and PGM.FCN. It also keeps % and %CH beside each other. I really like this much better! Thoughts...
