How can I enter 2^3/4*5 using the virtual keyboard

[rs-mobitech]

I was testing out some capabilities and had a problem entering 2 to the power 3 divided by 4 times 5. Can you please try it out and see if you encounter the same difficulties.

Nope, no difficult for me.

Here are images that show what I was doing:

2^3 then tap the divide gives me this as expected

2^3 then tap the ">", then tap divide sets me up for entering a fraction

This is the only way I was able to do it:

Were you able to enter 2^3 divided by 4 times 5, without using parenthesis?

There is an issue, but it's unrelated to the virtual keyboard. You can change the selection by tapping and dragging on the formula, or extend it using the virtual keyboard by pressing the shift keys and arrows. Using this technique you can select the numerator before tapping the "/" key and this will result in the desired formula.

The issue that does exist is that when a fraction is inserted, if the numerator ends with a superscript, the expression to the left is not recognized as a valid numerator and therefore not captured. This has now been fixed.

Hello, I tried entering the < and then << and it seemed to work. Thanks

I noticed one thing however. The superscript is no longer next to the number 2. Is there anything that could be done to fix this?

Yes, you should make sure to select both the "2" and the "3" before pressing the "/" key.
