The buttons and can be customized with extra functions (see here).
Their keyboards shortcuts are F1 and F2.
You may find it easier to use F and G instead.
If you right-click or control click , you get a menu of functions with the related ones grouped together:
You can use Double Key to access related functions.
For example:
| If: | Then: | |
|---|---|---|
| F1=Modulo | F1F1=Quotient | |
| F1=Percent Change | F1F1=As Percentage Of | |
| F1=Combinations | F1F1=Permutations | |
| F1=Round | F1F1=Truncate | |
It works the other way too. If F1 = Quotient, then F1 F1 = Modulo. The same applies to F2.
Note: The keys F1 and F2 are often used by OS X.
We recommend you use F and G.
