key-mapped menu systems

10.19: adde/escaping with near-home keys:

. how to make it easy to get in and out of

text vs menu mode?

double enter brings up menu:

0..9 for number of enters to paste into text,

hit enter again to run the current code .

. then the rest of the menu is the familiar graphic

showing the most-used keys with icons or labels

of what function the key will launch .

. in case you weren't paying attention

and your text was accidently interpreted as commands

it has a record of your exact input

right up until the end of session

which is not something that can easily be done

without paying attention .

10.29: adde/keyboard-mapping icon sets:

. the way to select a random subset of icons quickly

is to place the icons in a matrix shaped like the keyboard map,

so each near-home key toggles the selection of an icon;

then tab.key pulls next set of icons onto the display;

finally, enter.key sets selection to paste`top .
