Using Macros
To reduce the time of writing and to automate command execution, use the following macros:
-
– point. Use to separate point from cursor moving.
-
– comma.
– the Space macro. This macro is a horizontal bar which is drawn from left to right, and then from right to left, with a minimum angle between the two lines (The dot shows drawing start point). If Recognize Spaces Automatically function in the Recognition tab is disabled, use this macro to separate the words. The function is enabled by default after installing PenReader. -
– the Dash macro (“-”). Draw it from left to right. -
– the Enter macro. Use it to go to the next line. -
– the Backspace macro. You can use it to delete not only separate characters, but also words and phrases. Mark the characters which you want to be deleted and draw the macro. This macro should be used in a separate time-out. -
– the Tabulation macro functionally corresponds to the Tabulation button on the keyboard. Two variants are supported. While drawing this macro, the vertical bar should be 2-3 times longer than the horizontal elements. -
– the Shift macro. It works like the Shift button on the keyboard. The Shift macro is a vertical line drawn bottom-up before the letter: for example, to get capital “A” you should write 
. -
– the CapsLock macro. Use it to enable the uppercase mode. This macro is a vertical line drawn from the bottom to the top and back (the dot shows the beginning of the line). Repeated macro switches off the uppercase mode. -
– the context switch macro. You should write it in a separate time-out.
