Improving the Wakefield keyboard in the calculator

[rdstern]

This is a continuation from #8878 which was becoming too long.

The Wakefield keyboard has many keys, for which it is easy to add useful tooltips. Also: a) Change date_stamp to dates (D) b) For iq, can you change the sd from 10 to 15? c) For sat change the mean to 1000, sd to 150, maximum to 1600 and minimum to 400. d) For upper, change the command to upper_factor. Keep just as upper on keyboard, but change the c to F. e) Overall change (f) to (F) and (c) to (C), and (o.f) to (O.F). f) Add buttonlower (F)on bottom row, and just after upper (F). It produces the lower_factor command. g) Correct mis-spelling of linkert7 to likert7. h) Change level key to lower, with correct coding for lower command. (It gives a single lower case letter.) (Note the very similar code for upper is already included) i) The key called died is not needed. Instead include grade_letter, with code for that command j) The key called sex is not needed. Instead have times (T)as key name, giving time-stamp as the command. k) The key called ela is not needed. Instead include minute (T) with code for that command l) There will then need to be a new issue and pull request for @N-thony to recognise H:M:S data and give the (T) for time in the data sheet.

Here goes on the tooltips!

(Multiply the result to change the mean) browser: Sample from "Which browser do you use?" with Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Android, being the options. iq: Sample from normal diatribution with default of mean 100 and sd 15 - not 10 as provided by the package. language: Sample of world's languages with default being list of 99 languages, provided, together with their proportions lower: Sample of single letters, with default being one of a,b,c,d,e math: Sample of integers with default of 1 to 4, and probabilities based on New York grading in maths for Grades 3 to 8 children. (Called level instead if equally likely) ela (Key not needed, minute given instead.) minute: Sample of minutes as H:M:S time elements.

l) There will then need to be a new issue and pull request for @N-thony to recognise H:M:S data and give the (T) for time in the data sheet. @rdstern I think we have already (T) used for hms or difftime

@rdstern I have edited this issue by mistake, can you re-write it? I was trying to comment on (T) type for hms

This is now resolved, I found your comment

Thanks @N-thony and a small follow-up, because I am now improving the dates and times keyboard. There I found that you already have a (T) for times type. This is similar, but not quite the same as the times variables generated via Wakefield. They are not recognised by you, but do process nicely in the summarise dialog. In contrast the more official time variables are recognised by you (and resgrid), but not processed by the summarise dialog - though they are by skim?

Puzzling, and nothing to do on this puzzle just now!

Which data are you using so that I can check the class of that column?
