Which keystroke function is associated with Calculator Entry mode for selection fields?

• A. Use the keypad +/- to adjust a highlighted field
• B. Type a numeric BPM directly
• C. Use the mouse to adjust value
• D. Press Enter to confirm

Answer: (A)

Calculator Entry mode is about adjusting a highlighted numeric field with keyboard, like a calculator. In this mode, using the keypad’s plus and minus keys changes the value up or down, letting you dial in tempo, BPM, or other numbers quickly without using the mouse or retyping the whole number. Typing a BPM directly would be normal numeric entry, not the calculator-style adjustment. Using the mouse alters the value with a pointing device, which isn’t the keyboard-focused approach of Calculator Entry. Pressing Enter to confirm isn’t the defining keystroke of this mode, though it may serve to finalize input in some contexts.
