I concur. The result would be a two-shift-key device somewhere between the 31S and the 34S. A second shift key will open the possibility to add TVM as a built-in function, too.

I looked at the layout again to see why we might need 2 shift keys and I see the keys are already all taken up. But at minimum, we just need P/R (and maybe R/S) and some LBL (or not). If no LBL then the programming will just be ONE sequential "macro" thing, no branching, no looping, no labels. (OK you still need a way to invoke the program).

Then at least you can have the calculator automatically manipulate XYZT and save you 30 seconds here and there (it "adds" up!).

The other big thing I would want is quick changing between the FIX, SCI and ENG modes. At least ENG and FIX (just because I hardly use SCI hehe).
