Virtual TI-83 - Taniel - 09-15-2010
I just recently installed Ubuntu on my computer and it is very different, but I'm learning. I'm even taking a Python programming class in school.
I bought a Sidewinder X6 keyboard which has a button that automatically opens up the calculator, which I don't need unless I'm doing extremely simple math (which I can do in my head...). I can't get my real TI-84 calculator to work, so I installed Wine and a virtual TI-83. It is a bitch to browse through my virtual C-Drive to get it and I can't seem to make shortcuts for it. I found where all my keyboard shortcuts are and I can change them, but how can I change this button to open my VTI?
Sorry if that was confusing, it has been a long day at school and I'm tired.
Let me try to summarize it. I have a virtual calculator on my virtual Wine C: drive that I want to automatically open when I press a key on my keyboard. Is this possible, if so, how can I do it?
Thank you in advance.

If you go to System => Preferences => Keyboard Shortcuts
You can add a shortcut, it will ask for a name(displayed name in your keyboard shortcuts)
And a command, which would be a command you would use to launch your TI-83 from the terminal
Let's say for notepad you could type
Code:
wine c:/windows/notepad.exeThen you can assign the keyboard shortcut you want to assign to that command.

I just bought one of these for my son (TI-84 plus) and it was like $100. I wasn't aware emulators existed. That's cool.

I tried this, but when I press the button nothing happens. Now that I think about it, this isn't a huge issue. I don't have much math homework and when I do, it's simple enough that I can do it in my head. Thanks for the help though.

This is the reason why I'm not about to go and buy one. -.- They're ridiculously expensive. Luckily, my teacher lets us borrow them in school so I can just use this emulator at home. I guess I have to deal with digging through my virtual C: drive. Oh well, not that big of a deal.
