since all of the title images still had 8.2, and the title text still said 7.3 or 7.4, having not been updated for a long time.

where <I>key</I> is a valid name for a keyboard key and
|
|
<I>value</I> is the command to be printed to the console,
|
|
pending completion. If present, <I>window_type</I> must
|
|
be one of the window types recognized by the <B>specialopen</B>
|
|
command: <B>layout</B>, <B>color</B>, <B>netlist</B>, or
|
|
<B>wind3d</B>. If omitted, the <B>layout</B> window type is
|
|
assumed, unless the command was called from inside a window
|
|
using the colon or semicolon escape to the command-line, in
|
|
which case the type of the calling window is assumed.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The <B>imacro</B> command allows a variant of the <B>macro</B>
|
|
command in which the bound command, rather than being immediately
|
|
executed, is instead printed to the console as the beginning
|
|
portion of a command, awaiting completion. It can be used to
|
|
simplify typing of commands by pre-formatting the command line
|
|
with the command and possibly some options. For example,
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<B>imacro p "paint "</B>
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
will allow the single keystroke "p" to automatically format
|
|
the command "paint " on the command line, waiting for the
|
|
user to enter the type to paint and execute the command. <P>
|
|
|
|
Unlike the <B>macro</B> command, commands entered by <B>imacro</B>
|
|
are ultimately evaluated by the Tcl interpreter, and so may
|
|
contain Tcl commands as well as magic commands. <P>
|
|

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<B>imacro</B> is implemented as a built-in window command in <B>magic</B>.
