Text Commands

The Text submenu of the Command Menu offers:

Paste Text command

The Paste Text command produces the specified text by copying it to the clipboard and then pasting it. 

This command can be useful when you want to avoid the Client Application to reinterpret the text you expand. For example, if you have your Microsoft Word Autocorrect configured to correct solu into solution, expanding sm into Solu-medrol may end up into Solution-medrol instead. To avoid that, you can expand Solu-medrol through the clipboard using the Paste Text command:

        {command}{PasteText}Solu-medrol{/PasteText}{NoSpacing}

Note that you can also use the Paste Text command to empty the clipboard, as follows:

        {command}{PasteText}{/PasteText}{NoSpacing}

You may combine this command with the Add Glossary Entry command to open an empty Add Glossary Entry window:

        {command}{PasteText}{/PasteText}{AddGlossaryEntry}{NoSpacing}

Paste Rich Text command

The Paste Rich Text command produces the specified rich text. It enables you to produce rich text inside a command entry.

Capitalize Selection command

Capitalize Selection capitalizes the selected text. Most of the time you want to change the case of the previous word. You then need to precede the text command with a keystroke command that selects the previous word as follows:

        {command}{Ctrl Shift Left}{Capitalize}{NoSpacing}

Lowercase Selection command

Lowercase Selection converts the selected text to lowercase. Most of the time you want to change the case of the previous word. You then need to precede the text command with a keystroke command that selects the previous word as follows:

        {command}{Ctrl Shift Left}{Lowercase}{NoSpacing}

Uppercase Selection command

Uppercase Selection converts the selected text to uppercase. Most of the time you want to change the case of the previous word. You then need to precede the text command with a keystroke command that selects the previous word as follows:

        {command}{Ctrl Shift Left}{Uppercase}{NoSpacing}
