Important!
Among the text strings above that are input using key operations, log() and other functions
that are followed by parentheses,
e (base of a natural logarithm), and pi are math module
functions. To use these functions, you first need to import the math module.* For details, see
“Command Categories” (page 17-10) and “Operation Example: To use math module functions”
(page 17-13).
* If you use
import instead of from to input the module, you need to append “math.” before
each function you use. See “Using Modules (import)” (page 17-12 for more information).
u Alphabet Key Input
The first input immediately after a is pressed or if input was put into alpha lock by pressing
!a (page 1-2), pressing a key will input the character marked in red on a key, a space or
quotation marks (”).
• Selecting {NEW} or {OPEN} from the file list screen will display the script editor screen and
automatically puts input into lowercase alpha lock.
u Auto Indent when a Newline is Input
From the Python mode script editor screen, pressing w will input a newline.
• Pressing w after a line that ends with a colon (:) automatically indents the new line two
spaces more than the line above it (Auto Indent).
• Pressing w while the cursor is located in an indented line will indent the line following the
newline by the same amount as the indented line above it.
• To perform a newline without indenting the new line, press !w.
Newline codes are not displayed in the Python mode.
