dynamic - how to use InputField function within the manipulate function

I am trying to make a demonstration that can take in a matrix and create a vector field. Currently I have the demonstration all functioning but to define the matrix it uses sliders. I know they cannot be used to to define strings within manipulate but numbers can. if possible it would be nice to be able to put the inputfields in a 2x2 grid. currently I have:

Manipulate[value[a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i],
 Style["Matrix values", 12, Bold],
 {a, -10, 10, 1},
 {b, -10, 10, 1},

 {c, -10, 10, 1},
 {d, -10, 10, 1},
 {{e, -10, "x-min"}, -20, 0, 1},
 {{f, 10, "x-max"}, 0, 20, 1},
 {{g, -10, "y-min"}, -20, 0, 1},
 {{h, 10, "y-max"}, 0, 20, 1},
 {{i, 5, "Solutions"}, 0, 50, 1}]

I would like a,b,c,d to be input boxes so I can put in a 2x2 matrix. If anyone could help that would be great. I think it would use InputField Function and the Dynamic function. THANKS!!!

Ok, so I have figured one big thing out. instead of:

{a,-10,10,1}

(this defines a slider of range -10 to 10 with a step of 1) replace the numbers with InputField

{a,InputField}

and then you can replace a with different names and a value seen on my e-i variables I still can't find out how to make it look like a 2x2 matrix.

a b

c d

instead of a

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

How to thread a list

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
