Question. How is done?
Answer. Working with KeyText™ a complete set of macros (about 200) have been written and are contained in a single file that uses the clever KeyText™ software to translate a mnemonic into the character of choice.

Question. How am I going to learn 200 macros?
Answer. Some you may not need; the Nordic Slash (Ø) or a generic currency sign (¤) perhaps. However there are scores of commands and characters that you use and we have confidence that you will not have to pull down that special character menu or resort to help pages.
~~~~~
Question. Commands?
Answer. Yes you can do a range of commands some complex like save file (Alt F Alt S) and the common editing commands like page up, page down etc.

This is how you use CyKey with KeyText™
The [R] key
1 Tap the repeat key, it generates a special code that KeyText™ recognises.
In documentation [R] is used to signify this action.
KeyText™ now “listens out” for the next two characters you enter.
It is these 2 characters, when preceded by [R], that select a substitute character from the table.
2 Examples to illustrate the easy mnemonics - to type “ à ” (a grave)
Key [R] (tap the repeat key)
Now key g (type “g”for grave)
Then key “a” (type “a” the accented character)
[R]ga in our shorthand.
To type À (A grave) key [R]gA (upper-case A).
This rule applies to all the foreign accented characters umlauts [R]ua - ä etc, tilde [R]ta - ã, etc.
Punctuation takes the prefix “p”
Thus exclamation is [R]pe - ! e for “exclamation”
Similarly [R]pb - \ b for backslash etc.
Double character is a really clever
In this group are all the brackets plus double quotes [R]dq “ ” and even Spanish quotes ¿ ?
It really is as easy as that!
