Keyboard Mapping

 

Please note that keyboard entry will only work when the Window containing the HP16C applet or application is active. Also, keyboard entry will not work while the cursor is on the “Help with Keyboard Entry” link below the applet or if the focus is on one of the register textboxes within the emulator.  If keyboard entry stops working at any point, please just click any button within the Calculator emulator (with the mouse) and keyboard entry should resume.

 

All key mappings are CASE SENSITIVE unless noted below.
