AMS Extender Version 1.1.0

Introduction

AMS Extender includes a series of very different small features. For instance you can change the scrolling speed, or show a small status icon with the current battery level.

Features

The following features are available on all models:

  • By default, scrolling is extremly slow. AMS Extender allows to fully customize the scrolling behaviour.
  • kbdprgmX normally only work on the home screen. Now they work everywhere. Also, kbdprgm7 up to kbdprmg9 can be used.
  • AMS Extender automatically adds two missing brackets on the home screen, if the name of an executable file is entered, and the user presses [ENTER].
  • It is possible to change the blinking speed of the cursor. Not very useful, but why not.. :P
  • It's possible to specify an autostart program that is executed whenever the calculator is tunred on.
  • Change the value of the APD (Auto Power Down) timer (time until the calculator automatically turns off)
  • Turn the calculator off with a single key: [ON].
  • The three editors (program-, text- and matrix-editor can be started with a keyboard shortcut.

Some features are only available on the Voyage 200 and the TI-92+:

  • Start kbdfuncX with [diamond]+[F1-F8] (similar to kbdprgms).
  • Digital clock in the bottom left corner, with 12h and 24h mode.
  • [diamond] + [CLEAR] clears the home screen history
  • [diamond] + [a] selects the while entry line (like CTRL+A on a normal computer would).
  • Battery level in the bottom left corner.
  • QWERTY or QWERTZ keyboard layout.
  • Change between RAD and DEG with [diamond] + [*].
