Nah, that's just what came out while typing. By that I mean they act as primary keys (i.e. no shift keys needed) but only when in specific modes or conditions. In truth the [.] key can be used for fraction entry as part of normal numeric data entry and not a special mode, but when it sees the 2nd [.] entered (between the numerator and denominator) it basically realizes this is fraction entry.

I think you had it right as well, I just used different terms to explain it, to be sure we were in sync.
