--- Comment #4 from Mike H <myst...@gmail.com> --- First of all, I'm not certain why my bug was closed as a duplicate of a much less detailed bug one year later. I believe that one should have been closed instead. Second, the resolution to promote square root still does not address the UX issue of not understanding what 'shift' implies. The shift button should have some special text styling or button background color that is different from every other button. Perhaps Italicized and a different color for example. At the very least a different color. Then, every single button that is affected by the shift should have superscript text, perhaps italicized, But definitely the same color as chosen for the shift button, that displays what the secondary feature of the button is. I linked a descriptive picture of a TI-36 calculator previously in this bug that denotes how its second function key has the different color and the text on the buttons denotes both features, one being the italicized feature. It does however appear that Casio calls their second function button the shift key like K-Calc. I have never owned a Casio calculator and only today decided to start looking at Texas instruments's competition. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fc/Casio_algebra_fx_2.0_plus.PNG shows how Casio has a shift button that is orange and superscript text above every shiftable function button that shows its secondary function. Instead of hiding behind an opaque layer change for the button, or entire text replacement, I don't know how it is done, both values somehow need to be displayed on the button. Concurrently. While it does currently mimic casio's naming, I also still think that the naming of shift is ambiguous even with UX contextual clue improvements, so renaming to 'second function' '2nd func' something like that, might also be very helpful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
