Problem with /Divide function

AJ, would never have guessed you had assigned a shortcut to the / key. Good you got it sorted.

That’s why I asked.

Bit of related trivia…

I had not heard of anyone using / as a shortcut at all, but a common shortcut is x for X-ray. That then fights with making an array, where you move a copy and type x4 to get a few more copies. The x of x4 triggers X-ray.

People who use that shortcut get around the problem by typing 4x instead of x4. The x in 4x is taken to be a multiplier, and not a shortcut for X-ray.

Same thing works with /. If you had a good reason to use / as a shortcut for something, typing 3/ instead of /3 would let the key work as a divider when making copies.

Actually I never use (or teach) x
I teach *

  • to multiply, / to divide, it’s basic computer math :slight_smile:
