What Is the NoteFolio™ Application?
The NoteFolio application (App) for the TI-83 Plus lets you enter
and edit text with the TI Keyboard. Although text may be entered
and edited using the unit’s keypad, the keyboard makes entering
text easier, and generally improves the speed and accuracy of
text entry and editing.
The NoteFolio App is handy for taking notes in class, creating todo lists, and jotting down assignments or other things to
remember. Like a basic word processor or text editor, the
NoteFolio App lets you:
• Save and retrieve text files
• Cut or copy text to the clipboard, and paste text from the
clipboard
• Undo your last editing action
• Display in either large or small font
• Find a specific word or group of words

Selecting INFO does not open a menu. Instead, it hides the menus
and shows the information bar containing the note’s name.
Note

While a pop-up menu is open, most keyboard shortcuts
are ignored.

Use the right and left arrow keys on either the keypad or the
keyboard to move from one menu to the next. Use the up and
down arrow keys to move from one command to the next on a
given menu. Highlight a command and then press Enter on the
keyboard or press Í on the keypad to choose the command.

Key Considerations
You can enter and edit text in the NoteFolio™ App with either the
TI-83 Plus keypad or the TI Keyboard. If you use the NoteFolio
App without a TI Keyboard, you cannot use shortcut key
combinations using the 2 modifier key.
The diamond key (2) on the TI Keyboard acts as a modifier key,
similar to Control, Alt, or Command keys on other keyboards. The
NoteFolio App uses keyboard commands in which you hold down
the 2 key and then press another key. In this guidebook, that key
combination is shown as the diamond symbol followed by the
other key. For example, you can press 2Q to quit the NoteFolio
App. The square key (0) is not used in the NoteFolio App.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

TI-83 Plus Keypad

TI Keyboard

In this guidebook, it is generally assumed that you are using a
TI Keyboard for choosing menu commands and for entering and
editing text.
To repeatedly enter a character (such as a space), you can press
and hold a key until the character is repeated.
Note

If the NoteFolio App responds as if a text key or modifier
key is being held down, either press and release a TI
Keyboard modifier key (e.g., ♦) or press the É key on
your handheld to resume normal operation.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

Page 11

Insert Mode and Overwrite Mode
With the NoteFolio™ App, like most text editors or word
processors, text is inserted when you place the cursor within an
existing text block and begin typing. Text you type is inserted in
front of the text following your cursor. This is called insert mode,
which is the normal mode of editing.
Note

For best performance from your handheld when inserting
new text that is more than a few words, it is
recommended that you type text at the bottom of the
note. When you complete typing the new text, you can
then copy and paste the text where necessary.

Also like other text editors or word processor applications,
NoteFolio has an overwrite mode, in which the text you type
replaces, or writes over, the text following your cursor. To switch
between insert mode and overwrite mode, press y 6 or 2 Del.
When in insert mode, the cursor is a blinking underline. When in
overwrite mode, the cursor is a blinking rectangle.

Using the Application
Basics of Entering Text
You can use the TI Keyboard with the NoteFolio™ App to type
uppercase or lowercase text by using the Shift keys or Caps Lock
key in conjunction with the letter keys.
If you do not have a TI Keyboard, you can also use the handheld
keypad to enter either uppercase or lowercase text. As always,
you press ƒ to place the TI-83 Plus in uppercase alpha
mode, and then you can enter uppercase alphabetic characters.
Note

Pressing ƒ has no effect on text entry from the
keyboard, if connected.

In the NoteFolio App, if you press ƒ a second time, you can
enter lowercase characters. The NoteFolio App uses the following
indicators to show whether you are entering uppercase , or
lowercase text .
To set the correct alpha mode:
1. Press ƒ until the indicator shows the alpha mode you
want, either uppercase or lowercase.
2. Press y 7 to lock the TI-83 Plus in alpha mode.

select On or Off. Use Wrap On to type or display text that will be
wrapped on the screen. With Word Wrap On, text does not split in
the middle of a word.
Wrap On

Select Wrap Off to type or display text that will not be wrapped on

or while typing text using the TI Keyboard.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

Page 15

1. Press MENU or 2M to display the menu bar.
2. Press the right arrow twice until the WRAP menu is displayed.

Wrap On is the default setting

3. Select either 1:On or 2:Off and press Enter.
Note

The current setting will have a striked out gray
appearance indicating it is unavailable since it is already
selected.

Facts about Files
Names for text files created with the NoteFolio™ App must begin
with an alphabetic character and cannot have more than eight
characters.
Note

When using the handheld keypad to save your file, be
sure to press ƒ so you can enter alpha characters.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

Page 16

The size of a file is limited by the amount of available free RAM
and archive memory. If memory is limited, you may not be able to
open or save a large file.
If the TI-83 Plus automatically powers down while you are running
the NoteFolio App, press É to turn the unit back on. Your open
file remains as you left it, and you can resume your work.
If you choose New, Open, or Exit from the File menu before you
have saved a new note or changes to an existing note, you will be
prompted to save and name your note before you can continue.
The NoteFolio App will first attempt to save a note file to archive.
If there is not enough Archive free to save the note, the NoteFolio
App will display an Archive full warning message and will then
attempt to save the file to RAM. If there is enough RAM free, the
note file will be saved to RAM.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

Page 17

However, if there is not enough RAM free to save the note, the
NoteFolio App will display a Low RAM warning message followed
by another warning message showing that the note was saved
under the file name of NOTETEMp.

Since NOTETEMp is the temporary file the NoteFolio App uses to
save a note to when memory is full, be sure to protect your note
from being overwritten by saving it to a new file. To do this, free
up memory, run the NoteFolio App, open the file NOTETEMp,
choose Save As from the File menu, and save the file with a
different name.
After verifying that the note has been saved to another file, the
NOTETEMp temporary file can be deleted in order to free up
additional memory if needed.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

and then use the arrow keys to highlight the text.

3. Release the Shift key and arrow key.
Note

To highlight text using the TI-83 Plus keypad, press
y ~ or y |, press an arrow key to highlight text, and
then do your editing action (cut, copy, delete, type over,
paste over). When your action is complete, press y ~
or y | again to stop highlighting text.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

Editing Text

• To cut text so you can move it to another location, highlight the
text, select MENU, select EDIT, and choose Cut.
• To copy text so you can paste it in another location, highlight
the text, select MENU, select EDIT, and choose Copy.
• To paste text you have cut or copied, place the insertion point
where you want to paste the text, select MENU, select EDIT,
and choose Paste.
• To undo an editing action, select MENU, select EDIT, and
choose Undo.
Note

Keyboard shortcuts (for example, 2X) cannot be used
while a pop-up menu is open.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

Page 26

Note

You can only undo the last single editing action
performed. If you subsequently type or delete a single
character, the prior action can no longer be undone.

The NoteFolio™ App lets you cut or copy text from one note and
paste it into another, as long as you do not quit the application
between editing sessions. When you quit the NoteFolio App, the
contents of the Clipboard is discarded.
The TI-83 Plus uses RAM memory to store text that has been cut
or copied to the clipboard or to store an action that you may want
to undo. If your unit has low RAM memory available, you may
encounter difficulties with the Cut, Copy, Paste, and Undo
commands, in which case you will receive a low RAM error
message.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App

Page 27

Finding Specific Characters or Words
The Find command will stop searching when it reaches the end of
the note file. The Find command searches for text from the
current cursor position to the end of the note file. Therefore, for
best search results, start the search at the beginning of the file.
1. Place the cursor where you want to begin your search
(typically at the beginning of the file).
2. Open the EDIT menu and select 5:Find.

3. In the dialog box, type the characters or words you want to
find.
4. Press Enter to find the next occurrence of the text you are
searching for.
5. Press 2Q or CANCEL (s) to end the Find operation.

Grouping and Ungrouping Notes
Grouping Notes
As with other application variables on the TI-83 Plus, you can
combine the NoteFolio™ App note files. Grouping files together
helps you organize, store, and share them with others easily. For
example, a teacher might want to send one group of notes to
English1 students and another group of notes to English2
students.
Grouping allows you to make a copy of two or more files residing
in RAM and then store them as a group in user data archive
memory. The files must be in RAM before they can be grouped. In
other words, archived data cannot be included in a group.

TI-83 Plus NoteFolio™ App
