CMDSEP   [?|x]
CMD

Usually, you can enter more than one exaEdit command at once by separating them with a semicolon (`;'). With the command CMDSEP you may change the separator (CMDSEP x) or ask for the current setting (CMDSEP ?).

If you only enter `CMDSEP' (without any parameter), the default setting is restored. It is equivalent to the command

As separator you may use any character except the question mark (`?') and letters.

Since you will need the command separator frequently when using exaEdit, the separator should be on a key that is easy to reach and you should be able to write the separator without the shift key (broad arrow pointing up, on the
  lower right and lower left of the alphanumeric key block). So, you are recommended not to use the semicolon if it can be only reached with the shift key. In this case you should use another character as command separator, for example the comma:

You may save the change of the separator to your exaEdit profile file.
