Programming the Editor

Programming the editor includes all the possibilities allowing to have complicated commands or sequences of commands executed with a few hits of keys. exaEdit has a lot of features that make this programming possible. Other functions will be added in the course of time. But exaEdit will not reach the flexibility of a real programming language; that would not be reasonable because there are enough other, very useful programs for that purpose. What does exaEdit offer for this field?

The programmable function keys F1, F2, ..., compare section Programmable Function Keys.
The command storages X and Y, compare section Command Storage.
The command sequence workfile EXEC, compare section Command Sequences in the Workfile: EXEC.
The parameter variables, compare section Parameter Variables.
