The tools
To build a complete operator interface, use:
macros to replace a set of commands with a single command
symbols to replace long commands or commands with parameters
key definitions to assign commands, symbols, macros, or a series of
replacement keystrokes to keys or mouse buttons
Precedence
At runtime, components are evaluated in the following order:
symbols, commands, macros
object keys, display keys, global keys
For details about the order of precedence among object, display, and
global keys, see page 15-14.
Creating macros
A macro is a series of commands stored in a macro file. The name of
the macro file is then used like a command and can be used anywhere
a command can be used. When the file name is entered, the macro
runs, executing all the commands in the file.
You can create macros to perform almost any action. For example, a
macro can:
A
open a group of windows and define their initial positions
define temporary key definitions
close any open windows
set tag values
