Interface & User Experience

Cell Insertion Assistant 

The Cell Insertion Assistant shows up immediately when opening a new Mathematica notebook.

It displays many of the standard options for entering evaluations into Mathematica, as well as entering styled text.

The Cell Insertion Assistant shows up any time you click between Mathematica cells—always easy to access, but out of the way for experts who choose not to use it.
