- SumsKeys is a little filter module which enters correct type setting symbols for arithmetic function keys pressed on the numeric keypad.
-
- It was written to save time entering basic arithmetic symbols when
- DTPing maths tests containing a large amount of arithmetic.
-
- The main keyboard keys are not affected.
-
- Hitting on the numeric keypad;
-
- / gives ÷
- * ×
- - − ( they are different in a proper font !)
- . ·
- shift0 °
-
- As it is a wimp filter it has no effect outside the desktop, it
- works by checking which key is pressed to enter a symbol. e.g. if
- / is pressed on the keypad it will be changed to ÷ but if it was
- pressed on the main keyboard it remains /.
-
- As a consequence of this, if you type to fast (blip) on the keypad
- the filter will not see that a keypad key was used and will not
- change the character - DON'T TYPE TOO FAST !
-
- Obviously, don't use it if you are using the keypad to drive !Calc
- or !SciCalc....
