Feature request: would it be possible to block PTT and/or the 8+5/8+2 +ON combinations?

A bug report: In the basic editor it didn't work to press FORMAT (2ND before of cource) and then go to Axes off, when I hit then enter the tolken appeared and behind that were a lot of question marks and there were no more lines after that code. When i exeted via  2ND MODE and then go back in the program is back to normal, just the AxesOff isn't there. I had to acces it via the catalog.
EDIT: I tis aswell with all the other tolkens in that menu

I see the problem there. That menu is a different context, just like the mode menu. The reason it glitches though is because I didn't know that ;D. Also, the problem is really only prevalent in MathPrint, so I didn't notice it.

But I use OS 2.43, and so it doesn't have mathprint! D:

EDIT: I got a nice idea (In program editor): On+Left:Undo     On+Right:forward

undo and redo would definitely be helpful, but it would end up using a lot of RAM. maybe the command history could be overwritten and used for that purpose? (i have no idea; i'm just spouting ideas).

No, TI actually did a pretty good job on those. You can't block them without modifying the OS. However, you can undo PTT through OFFSCRPT or the USB hook, but by that point, your groups are already gone.

But I use OS 2.43, and so it doesn't have mathprint! D:

Meh, still an issue. (I'll fix it)

[/quote]

The problem with that is that that's not at all how I handled the undo. The main problem with the way the TI editor works is that one press of clear and you lose a bunch of data. I fixed that by making the clear button actually copy the line it is erasing. To be able to undo and redo would require an entirely different system. Plus, the system would actually have to be smart ;D

Why cant this work for 83+?

 :-\  :(  :'( .....

Bad Unfavorable hardware



Also, as I wrote this, I remember why I could so easily make room for the undo feature. It's because I overwrote the Mathprint command history! So, try not to delete any 2000 byte long lines of code until I fix that. ;)

You can build a statue out of either 1'x1' blocks or 12'x12' blocks. The 1'x1' blocks will take a lot longer, but the final product is worth it.

Another try for a feature request :P
-Some way to block the "Mem Mgmt/Del..." menu from access (to avoid stupid people that would like to delete my progs (yes, people like that may exist)), like a password or something. I tried Sentry but it conflicts with zStart D:

That's already possible in combinization with omnicalc, you can still acces it then but you can neither reset nor delete anything. ;) But what would be cool would be damn! I forgot my feature request! :O

I'm using 1.3.004 but when I click zStart in the app menu and press 6(Next) the screen gets weirdly shifted and I press 2nd-On and the calc reboots.
I've tried it multiple times and it always crashes there.
Also what exactly is 'Omnicalc'?

EDIT:Forgot to say I used OS 1.19

EDIT2:Wait a second, this doesn't work with the TI-83 plus. Lol, oops. :P

Well, Omnicalc is a rather cool app with a lot of functions, for example you have the ability to make a custom menu. Together with Symbolic you'll have even more features. The good thing is that you can insert all the omnicalc hooks with zstart, so symbolic works aswell with it. The bad thing that the project is dead by now... :(

I'm not sure if it's zStart-related or not, but I'm getting screen glitches on an 84pbe w/2.43.  Even games that normally don't shift around weirdly* are doing it sometimes, such as TinycarZ, Acelgoyobis, Phantom Star, and some others...(the hour-long periods at school are horrible for trying to develop x_x)
Running zStart fixes the problem.  The only apps I have installed are zStart, Axe and Mirage, and that hasn't changed for months but it only started happening recently (maybe since updating to .004?  idk).

*shifting, like, one column at a time, not big chunks of the screen like "normal".  It looks something like a wave effect..

Good find, ONSCRPT isn't working properly, I'll have to figure out what I broke. To recreate your glitch, pull a battery at the homescreen, then run a game like mario and watch the screen mess up. For now, the simple fix is just to press ON + CLEAR if you have problems.

Another problem that is not a bug: in a basic program with Input, we can do 2nd Quit and the temporary program stays in RAM.

Just remembered! It's about the editing when archieved.
It works fine and all if you move the curser to the program and then hit enter, but if I press e.g. 8 it gives me error: archieved.
