Introduction

Instead of inserting LD objects via toolbar, menu command or drag-and-drop, you can use so called Mnemonics .

Mnemonics Option

Open the Tools > Options... dialog.

Under Data and Languages > Languages > LD > Mnemonics, the Property label column lists the frequently used objects available for LD sections.

In the Property value column you can enter a mnemonic for each listed element.

A mnemonic can consist of up to 4 alphanumeric signs.

Using Mnemonics

As you start typing text while the current cell marker is on an empty cell in the LD Editor, a small edit box opens in the editor.

Entering a mnemonic (first key typed is taken over into the edit box) and pressing the Enter key insert the corresponding LD objects at the current cell.

You can also insert EF, EFB, and DFB by typing the complete instance name (for example MOVE or ADD) and pressing the Enter key.

If the cells needed to insert the element are already occupied, a message box informs you and the element is not inserted.
