TI-Nspire / Ctrl Tab
« on: May 03, 2016, 12:39:11 am »
I don't know if npdf 0.4b is maintained by anyone here. But I switched to this version.

To "go to page," the hotkey was previously "ctrl + g," now it is "ctrl + tab."

The "goto function" is working well and consistently. But since you are hitting "tab," the cursor jumps out of the textbox where you should type the page you want.

Just a small gripe.

The only reason I looked for a newer version after using critor's for a good while, is the "goto function" was inconsistent. Sometimes it would appear, sometimes I would have to close the pdf and reopen.



Oh and for those having "white page" issues, I have found a workaround that works sometimes. Reopen the pdf, use "goto" select a page near where you want to go, and then it seems to work.

It seems like you get white pages after browsing several consecutive pages, so going 5 pages in can result in white page. It looks like the ram is maybe getting full and it doesn't dump old pages out of the memory.

Edit (Eeems): Merged double post.

TI Calculators / Re: nPDF Help Ti-Nspire cx CAS

Hey KC. I hope you got this issue addressed and that is the reason for the silence.

If not, here were the steps I took:

1. Drag nPDF.prg.tns into a folder (any folder, I used the ndless folder) on the nspire.

2. Run nPDF.prg.tns. (this will register the filetype *.pdf.tns openable files, and tells the calc to use npdf.tns as the program to open them with!)

3. Drag nPDF.tns into a folder (again I used ndless folder)

4. Any pdf files you want on the calc, RENAME THEM to *.pdf.tns rather than *.pdf, and place the file on the calc.

5. Now any of these *pdf.tns filese are DIRECTLY OPENABLE through the normal browser on the nspire. So just click on the pdf file you want to open.

Note: IT IS INCORRECT to try to run npdf.tns! Doing so will just give you the error "This document format is not supported..."

Hope that works for you.

TI Calculators / Re: Nspire CX CAS - Custom User Menus???

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Vogtinator, you would be the person I would most look to for a possible solution to this.

I have found workarounds, I just type up a "template" of whatever I am calculating alot, and put this text into a text document, I tab over to the document, copy that line, tab back to the calculator, and then past and fill in the blanks. It is quite a few keystrokes, and not elegant, but achieves the desired end goal. For an ultimate geek, I seek perfection lol.

Is there a way to create a "custom template?" Like the matrix or derivatives or integrals have templates. Can we create one of our own?

Is there a COMMAND that creates an empty template? Perhaps a program could call the "create matrix command?"

----

BTW, Vog I have firebird running well on my android and windows! Love it.

TI Calculators / Nspire CX CAS - Custom User Menus???
« on: October 30, 2015, 06:19:02 pm »
Hello, first post. I am coming from using the TI89 previously.

I know I can create functions on the Nspire. But can I create a menu?

One thing that I was able to do on the TI89 was take my most frequently typed commands and put them into a menu.

For example, I use rref([][][]) all the time to solve systems of 3 variables. So I could literally have  rref([][][]) be a menu item, and I just fill in the blanks.

Can I do such a thing in the Nspire?

----

Also, is there a way to create a function or variable that stores EMPTY elements? Such as in the case of rref([][][]). If I could just type a command and have that text appear, then I could fill in the blanks.

Thanks in advance.
