Connecting
LEARN
Commands
LEARN
commands may be
linked
so
that they re-enact
in
sequence. For example,
if
you
have
already recorded
a
ILEARNI
on
the
2 key,
and
you
use [LEARN]-[2]
while
recording
a [LEARN]
on
the
I
key, [LEARN]-[2]
will
imme-
diately re-enact. From then on, each time you
use
ILEARNI-[1], the
cat will
re-enact [LEARN]-[1] and
[LEARN]-[2]
in
sequence.
This is
because
[LEARN]-[2]
is
the last
thing
recorded
in the
[LEARN]-[1]
keystroke
se-
quence.
Using one
[LEARN]
while recording another always causes
the
current recording to end.
Autorepeating Learns:
Global
Search
and
Replace
If
you
end the
recording of
a
[LEARN]
with
the
same
key
combination you would
use
to re-enact
it,
the command
will
re-enact over
and
over. This
is
called
an
autorepeating
LEARN
command.
For
example,
if
you
are recording
a
[LEARN]
on
[1], and
you
press
[USE
FRONT]-[1],
the re-
cording
ends and
the command begins
to play
back
from
the
beginning. When the command reaches the end
of
its
re-enactment, it encounters
[USE
FRONT]-[1] again and
so
will
start
over. This
has
the
effect of repeating the
[LEARN]
re-enactment over and over.
An
autorepeating
[LEARN]
allows
you
to
replace
one thing
with
another throughout
your text. This
is termed
global
search
and replace.
Because
leaping is not circular
in
[LEARN]
re-enactments,
a
global
search and
replace must begin
at
the
beginning
of
the text.
You may want to
limit
the changes to one
or more
documents
by using
ILOCAL LEAP]
before you begin the
ILEARN] (see Leaping Within a Specified
Area,
pages
58-
59).
Be
sure
to turn
off
[LOCAL LEAP]
afterward.
You
can
intemrpt
an
autorepeating
[LEARN]
by
pressing
any
key.
[SHIFT]
is best since
it
doesn't change the
text.
Storing Text
[LEARN]
is
capable
of storing text
such
as
legal phrases,
product
nrunes,
or company
names
and
addresses.
When
you
use
[LEARN],
the
stored
text is inserted at the
cursor
position.
The
first
step is to
highlight
the
text you want
to store.
Next,
hold down [uSE
FRONT],
and
while holding
it,
press
[LEARN], the
digit
key on
which you wish to
store the
text,
then
[LEARN] again.
The
highlight automatically returns to
normal
at
this
point.
Release IUSE FRONT],
and
the
text
is
stored.
