Setting Modes - Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus C Getting Started

Note: If you highlight a small character such as a colon or a comma and
then press ƒ or y, the cursor does not change because the cursor
width is too narrow.
Graphs and editors sometimes display additional cursors, which are
described in the guidebook.

Checking Mode Settings
Mode settings control how the TI-84 Plus C displays and interprets
numbers and graphs. Mode settings are retained by the Constant
Memory™ feature when the TI-84 Plus C is turned off. All numbers,
including elements of matrices and lists, are displayed according to the
current mode settings.
To display the mode settings, press z. The current settings are
highlighted. Defaults are highlighted below. The following pages
describe the mode settings in detail.
