| AutoNumLock for Treo/Centro 1.00b1
This is a YAHM-based hack for Treo/Centro devices (get yahm from yahm.palmoid.com) that aids in the input of numbers by activating a temporary numlock while a number is being entered.
More precisely, if you press OPTION, then input $, euro, pound (if your keyboard has euro or pound), #, + or any digit, you get a numlock that lasts until you enter something other than $, euro, pound, +, -, comma, period, colon or a digit.
Thus, to enter "I owe you $12.44. I'll pay you tomorrow", you type "I owe you " as usual. Then you press the OPTION key, and then press the $ (i.e., the H key). Then you type "12.44." without using any shift keys. Then you press the space bar. As soon as you press the space bar, the temporary numlock will disappear, and you can type "I'll pay you tomorrow" as usual.
With the standard Treo method of entering numbers, you would either have to hold OPTION while typing all of $12.44, which would be a nuisance, or you would have to press OPTION twice before $12.44 to switch to optlock mode, and then press OPTION again after $12.44, which would be two more keystrokes than AutoNumLock involves.
