I agree with the Inv->Shift conversion, however I, as a user, think that the sqrt button is more frequently used than the x^3 button, and it feels weird to have it "far" from the x^2. Is this last part really needed?

The button to toggle between the alternatives is now "Shift", as I have seen on the casio websites for different languages. "Inv" claims to be an "inverse" mode and we know, that some of the inverse functions are not really inverse to the second function they show. So this is more a "second button function".
