speed-typing! I only know the more common ones (I think, the others might be known unconsciously :P).
For better or for worse, I find myself saying menu key followed by the correct number-letter rather than the menu name followed by the command name. (second-math-right-4 rather than test-xor or second-test-logic-xor)
Same here.  It's really annoying when I know the key combos and think that before I think the command name. :D

I don't think I'm that fast at typing on calculator, but faster than the normal person :P

What bugs me though is when your thinking of a command and you think you know where it is and then you second guess yourself and you put the wrong command. :P

Heh ive gotten to the point where when i want the sub() command, i go to the catalouge and press T, because sub() is closer to the beginning of T than the beginning of S :P

It's two. I should know; I use that command about a dozen times each day. It's probably my most used command of all the commands on the calculator.

EDIT: It's so useful. Why didn't TI put in a special menu for the string commands (e.g. sub(, inString(, etc.)?

There's the extra Σ( command, right? I'd rather use OS 2.43. The manual even suggested using sum(seq([exp],[var],[start],[finish] for summation.

same here. For a while it wasn't as efficient, though, because I had the Français APP on, which re-orders the CATALOG...

EDIT: Darn, 1 minute 43 seconds on my first try and one mistake (typed X=24 instead of K=24, altough the error was already in the original prog) x.x

Now I was extremly bored

TI-BASIC programming: Tool-Assisted Free Run!

(for those not familiar with TAS/tool-assisted speedruns stuff, it involves playing video games are very slow speed or frame by frame, with save states to push the game limits to their maximum, performing things that a human wouldn't be capable of, and abusing game programming errors a lot and luck manipulation. In my case, only slow downs were used (5% speed), and I epic failed at TAS'ing TI-BASIC programming :P)

Had I not messed up, (or if Wabbitemu supported a slow emulation mode that paused on any form of getkey instruction until you press an actual key) it would have been much faster, though

WHAT?!
This was in TI's manual?  I hope they know that sum([exp],[start],[finish] is smaller and faster.  What was TI thinking! :D
Which manual was it, 2.43 or 2.53?

TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator Guidebook, page 11-18: "You can combine sum( or prod( with seq( to obtain" Sigma and Pi notation. "To evaluate Σ 2(N-1) from N=1 to 4:"

sum(seq(2^(N-1),
N,1,4,1))
              15

The TI manual is very unoptimized, but how would you use sum( the way you used it? Doesn't the first argument have to be a list?
