Using the keyboard
You can also use the keyboard to operate the calculator. The
standard number and keypad keys work, as do the operator and
backspace. Return and Enter also act as the equals key. Comma
also functions as the decimal separator in addition to point (dot).
All of the functions except the memory are accessible via the
keyboard too. Log base 10 is L, natural logs is N, percent is P,
+/- is M, sin is S, cosine is C, tangent is T, square root is R,
y
th
root of x is Y, and clear is X or Escape.
You obtain the inverse functions in the same way as the buttons,
by holding down the option key and selecting the appropriate
key, eg Option-S is arcsine.
The calculator keys will depress when the keyboard is used.
