That statement about Mathematica is very strange to me. With an install of Mathematica 6 out of the box and not fiddling with anything, I have to use Shift-ENTER or Shift-RETURN to evaluate in the worksheet. But I assume that you've done some fiddling with your Mathematica settings to get it just evaluate upon hitting ENTER or RETURN? > Can one tell sage to use the ENTER key only (without the shift) to > cause cell to evaluate? and have the RETURN key just starts a new line > (i.e. as in Mathematica).

But I think this would result in more key strokes. I usually have multiple lines of Sage code in a Notebook cell before I actually evaluate them. With what you're suggesting, I would have to press Shift-RETURN or Shift-ENTER to get a new line in the cell without evaluation. I think this would annoy you as well if you do want multiple lines in a cell. Or do you always have a single line of Sage code in a cell and then evaluate it? -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
