What are the most commonly used BASIC commands?

Mensaje por cheveron » Vie Mar 28, 2014 6:05 pm

I'm working on the extended keyboard layout for the Chloe 280SE which will map 16 commands to the function keys (f0 to f15). I'd like to know which commands you think I should map. The cluster above the cursors already includes LOAD, CODE, RUN, SAVE, DATA, and STOP.

Keep in mind that the firmware is SE Basic IV so it also includes the following commands:
CALL, CLUT, COLOR, DELETE, EDIT, MODE, ON ERROR, PALETTE, PUT, RENUM, RESET, SOUND, SPEED, SCROLL, TRACE, UDG

But it doesn't have these commands:
CAT, FORMAT, MOVE, ERASE, VERIFY, FLASH, BRIGHT, LPRINT, LLIST, COPY

I'm looked at the MSX BASIC shortcuts as a starting point and came up with the following clusters:

F0:EDIT

F1:LIST F2:RENUM F3:FOR F4:NEXT

F5:CONTINUE F6:GOTO F7:GOSUB F8:TRACE

F9:UDG F10:MODE F11:ON ERROR F12:DELETE

F13:SCREEN$ F14:SCROLL F15:PAUSE

What do you think?

The most common BASIC command is REM
I do not know any BASIC variant that does not include it.

He ask for most commonly "USED".

The most used BASIC command is "=".

He is asking what BASIC commands are more frequently in any typical program. Probably = is more frequent that REM
