Description of the _general grammar
In this grammar a lot of miscellaneous commands, (including some test commands) are brought together.
Searching for characters
For starting a search, or a discrete continuation, this command can be used.
The commands work together with the continuous search commands as described in
repeat/searching. See there for more information!
This is a vulnerable mechanism, should be investigated more.
Highlight
highlight <dgndictation>
Searches for the dictated text. Started as a one shot application for Shane Delmore.
The meta actions startsearch and startgo possibly need fine tuning for some applications, see meta actions.
Format variables
Command | result |
|---|
camel <dgndictation> | "camel top down" gives "topDown" |
camel back <1..5> | the last words are cameled |
You need to specify which formatting is desired, you can choose your own spoken word like "camel" above.
You do this by editing the _general.ini config file, say "edit general", and fill in in section:
[formatvariable]
camel = camel - The second word, after the =, is the trick, which must be taken literally from the table below.
- The spoken word is before the =.
the trick | the action performed |
|---|
camel | var like this -> varLikeThis |
studly | var like this -> VarLikeThis |
dotword | var like this -> var.like.this |
jive | var like this -> var-like-this |
score | var like this -> var_like_this |
