Agreed, for myself I would only want a handful of key assignments (at the most) that I could easily remember, but having another 6 as a menu would be very useful and eliminate need for memorization.

The toolbox key provides quick access to some functions and commands, but the list is quite limiting, and its catalog access is too slow. How about providing a user definable menu for functions and commands under the toolbox key?

If you only have a handful of key assignments, Eddie Shore's "User Key: Custom Menu" program is a nice alternative. Instead of using key assignments to access functions and commands, the program is menu driven and will type the function or command into the command line. It is simple and makes the HP Prime much more usable. Thank you Eddie!
