Edit Applications Commands Textbox

This is where Dictionary Words are created and edited.  Dictionary Words are the actual commands used to control Windows applications.  For instance, commands like "minimize application" and "maximize application" are created here.

To create or edit a Dictionary Word, first select a Vocabulary File.  Then click on the New Word toolbar button.  The cursor will now be active in the Edit Applications Commands Textbox.

Dictionary Words consist of two parts:

1. The first part is a user-defined command (i.e. "minimize" and "maximize").

2. The second part is ZAP! Sendkeys Statement.

These two parts are separated with the ":" (colon) symbol. 

So, a command to implement the minimize functionality of a window, might be written like the following:

That is, the words "minimize application" followed by the colon symbol, followed by the percent character followed by a space character followed by the letter "N".

Note the case of the letter; case is important as defined in the Sendkeys statement document

Upon the completion of entering or editing a Dictionary Word, hit the Save Changes button on the toolbar.

Double-clicking the label "Vocabularies" at the top of the list box will sort the list of Vocabularies.

Please see the Tutorials section for more examples of Dictionary Words.
