Computer keyboard shortcuts for TI-Nspire software
Sometimes when you’re using a computer, you get into typing mode. Call it laziness if you want, but you might not really feel like accessing a symbol palette or catalog to insert the symbol or command that you need. Incidentally, the first seven shortcuts also work on the handheld:
-
To enter π, type pi.
-
To enter θ, type theta.
-
To enter ∞: type infinity.
-
To enter ≤, type <=.
-
To enter ≥, type >=.
-
To enter √, type sqrt(…).
-
To enter �?, type abs(…).
-
To enter i (the imaginary constant), type @i.
-
To enter e (natural log base e), type @e.
-
To enter ° (degrees), type @d.
-
To enter r (radians), type @r.
