How do you go about getting to the next "step" in a formula? Like in a division situation where you have filled out the numerator, and you want to get to the denominator without using the arrow keys. Or in an if, then statement, getting to the next gray box? Or to the end of parenthesis in a formula?

 

In short, how do you avoid using arrow keys to get to the end of the formula you are writing?

 

thank you

Editing was sometimes demanding even in real Mathcad (version 15 and below) but it got worse in Prime.

See if using Shift-<arrow left/right> or Ctrl-<arrow left/right> can be of help to you.

I know its not exactly what you are looking for, but there seems not to be any other support to make editing easier and faster -> Keyboard Shortcuts for Editing Math

The TAB key would be a "natural" way to cycle through the placeholders (used from many other software)  but it doesn't work that way in Prime.
