Cloud: Ctrl+\ for typing fractions, Ctrl+2 for roots, etc.

Posted 10 years ago

Hi,

Does anybody know how to type fractions in Wolfram Cloud and Mathematica Online? How to make Ctrl+/, Ctrl+2, etc. work?

*I know this is Beta, but I'm still charged for it and it's a complete mess with no support/organization. One shouldn't have to pay for a Beta that's nowhere near as functional. Why don't they just make it part of the Mathematica subscription? Does anyone know who to contact for support? (Their branding/consistency/user experience is inconsistent and confusing.)

1) Yes, that works. 2) I notice you're in Programming Cloud, not Mathematica. Does that improve any of your abilities to do basic calculations? 3) I still have to type all of that which makes it completely worthless. Alpha does this already. The reason I purchased Mathematica is because I was able to more easily see what I input as I input it. This is more time consuming and less effective than doing hand calculations.

Maybe they will fix this later, but it formats it for you automatically, sin't it?

Anybody? While the programs are beautiful, finding answers seem to be a complete mess.

I had hoped (and expected) that Mathematica Online would have the same basic keyboard inputs as its desktop counterpart. I have no idea what to do here. For the desktop, it took me hours to figure out how to make a fraction box and hours more on how to do an exponent. Now I have to go through it all over again?

Ugh. This really needs a lot of attention. My trip out of town next week will be a disaster if I'm unable to make this work.

(attached is what I can do in the desktop version vs what -I think- the comparable input for MO. This is a MAJOR problem, rendering Mathematica Online completely unusable to me)

Do you mean the desktop versions of Mathematica? I use control+/ myself in there, but I was asking about Mathematica Online, a web-based interface for Mathematica. http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/online/ I tried control+/ there and it didn't work for me.

Type: x control+/ y to get built up fraction x \over y

Couldn't reproduce in this reply but it works in M-9 and M-10.
