Walter,

Then please come up with a proper suggestion. Okay... A bit more rigor is called for. I used the catalogues (as currently implemented by Sanjeev) and tallied up how many times each menu used each special character and came up with this table: The total count of occurrences is in the second column (#). Note that I've lumped the count for upper and lower case versions of sigma and phi. (The value in the bottom right corner is just 1. I must have had my cursor in that cell when I did the screen capture of this image.) Which confirms most of your points. A few discussion items:
Also, I still feel like making an exception for the degree symbol for the CONV menu. If you use a conversion that is away from the beginning and want to do a temperature conversion, press the degree symbol and the odds are fair that you will land on exactly the conversion you need (or can get there very quickly using only "Down"). If you press "A", then you have to go "Up" to get the conversion you want, which is not as convenient as going down. So here is the layout I suggest: This leaves 3 potential spots open. The location of the degree symbol and Omega could be changed. I think rather than trying to decide which 3 of the 6 or so frequently used special characters to add to the keyboard background, maybe it would be best to leave them empty and make the keyboard a little less cluttered. -Jonathan |
