If you have a sequence of keys which you enter often, you may wish to learn them once and assign them to a single key. Let's assume that you wish to learn the string "Copyright (c) 1998". The next time you are about to enter it, type a Ctrl–Minus sign on the keypad and enter a Ctrl–a when prompted for the key to learn. Type in your text then signal the end of learn mode by typing a Ctrl–Break. From this point on each time you enter a Ctrl–a it will be replaced by the learned input sequence.
It is possible to learn very long and complex sequences consisting of text, cursor movements and commands.
