Stand Up and Be Recognized! Calligrapher v7.3 by PhatWare Reviewed

Posted by Doug Raeburn in "SOFTWARE" @ 09:00 AM


PenCommander


Figure 28: The PenCommander Text Editor.

Figure 28 shows a screen for one of Calligrapher’s most powerful features, one that they call PenCommander. This feature allows you to automate Calligrapher in a number of simple to very complex ways by creating what they call PenCommands. A simple use of a PenCommand is to set up a shortcut for frequently used text. Here I’ve designated the PenCommand "ppct" to expand into "Pocket PC Thoughts".


Figure 29: A list of available PenCommands.

Calligrapher comes pre-loaded with a number of useful shortcuts, as shown in Figure 29. The ones to automatically insert ftp and http prefaces for Internet addresses are particularly helpful.


Figure 30: Your PenCommands come full circle.

To invoke a PenCommand, simply write its name and circle it.


Figure 31: Houston, we have expansion!

Other uses for PenCommander text substitution include your postal address, e-mail signatures and… well, the possibilities are endless.


Figure 32: Stick to the script!

While text substitution is a very useful feature, PenCommander’s capabilities go way beyond that simple use. Powerful scripting is available through PenCommander. Macros can be created by recording keystrokes, as well as by manual coding. The script editor supports variables, internal commands, user defined commands, syntax checking and more.

Calligrapher includes a number of pre-configured scripts that allow you to perform such actions as selecting all text, starting external programs from within the current program, accessing Calligrapher features such as the Configuration window without a menu, and many more.
