A89: Re: Quick jumping to the left and right



Hello!
    Making such a program is quite possible using TI-GCC 0.7!  You have to know about event-driven programming, however.  Zeljko Juric's documentation explains it pretty well, and gives a few examples.  One of his examples actually changes the behavior of the "Enter" key, and a similar technique could be used to change the behavior of Diamond + left or right.
    If you would rather not mess around with event-driven programming, I know of a wonderful program that should be included with every TI-89 sold.  It is called FastKbd, and it speeds up the repeat rate of the arrow keys and backspace.  It is available at ticalc.org in the archives.  After running this program, your cursor will zoom across the screen so fast, you won't even notice the delay.  Get this program now!  Your overworked arrow keys will thank you.
