Options: Dictionaries

In this folder you can add, remove, create and edit dictionary files.

A dictionary is a list of tab separated values: the first value is the macro name, the second value is the string that should be pasted into the PB edit window.

Example:

DateAuthor (tab) // implemented by §username§ on §date dd.mm.yy§

Loop       (tab) FOR i_cur = 1 TO l_count§cr§§tab§§cr§NEXT

The definition of macros can again include macros. These can be arbitrary deeply nested, but avoid cyclic references!

Apart from the macros you defined on your own, there is a list of generic macros.

By putting a dictionary file on a server you can share macros among a group of developers.

The sequence of the dictionary files is important: if there are macros with the same name in two different dictionary files, then SmartPaste will take the definiton from the dictionary that appears earlier in the list.

You can change the order of the macro files by using the buttons Move Up / Move Down
