ABSTRACT:
A data processing apparatus comprises a keyboard having a plurality of keys assigned to a plurality of functions; an executing controller for executing the function assigned to a key when operated on the keyboard; an output device for outputting the result of execution performed by the executing controller; a self-repeat controller for controlling the executing controller in such a manner that the function assigned to a continuously depressed key is executed repeatedly; a selection routine setting controller for selecting a selection routine in which a desired processing routine is selected from among a plurality of processing routines; a transition effecting controller, when the selection routine is selected by the selection routine setting controller, for regarding as a command for transition to the selected processing routine the depression of a key corresponding to a certain function in another processing routine, thereby effecting transition to the selected processing routine; and an inhibiting controller for inhibiting the operation of the self-repeat controller if a key, which is regarded as one giving a processing routine selection command when operated, is kept depressed after transition to the selected processing routine. Thus, after the operator has operated a key to specify transition to a desired processing routine and the transition has been executed, the inhibiting controller inhibits the operation of the self-repeat controller so that depressing the same key continuously never leads to executing the function assigned thereto.
