Macros can be considered functions that accept and return S-expressions – similar to abstract syntax trees, but not limited to those. These functions are invoked before the evaluator or compiler to produce the final source code. Macros are written in normal Common Lisp, and may use any Common Lisp (or third-party) operator available.
Keystroke logging, often referred to as keylogging or keyboard capturing, is the action of recording (logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, [1] [2] typically covertly, so that a person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. Data can then be retrieved by the person operating the logging program.
Macro key on an old keyboard. A macro key is a keyboard key that can be configured to perform custom, user-defined behavior. Many keyboards do not have a macro key, but some have one or more. Some consider a macro key to enhance productivity by allowing them to do operations via a single key press that otherwise requires slower or multiple UI ...
Emacs (/ ˈ iː m æ k s / ⓘ), originally named EMACS (an acronym for "Editor Macros"), [1] [2] [3] is a family of text editors that are characterized by their extensibility. [4] The manual for the most widely used variant, [5] GNU Emacs, describes it as "the extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display editor". [6]
Literate Programming by Donald Knuth is the seminal book on literate programming.. Literate programming is a programming paradigm introduced in 1984 by Donald Knuth in which a computer program is given as an explanation of how it works in a natural language, such as English, interspersed (embedded) with snippets of macros and traditional source code, from which compilable source code can be ...
In some languages the expansion of a macro does not need to correspond to textual code; rather than expanding to an expression containing the symbol f, a macro may produce an expansion containing the actual object referred to by f. Similarly if the macro needs to use local variables or objects defined in the macro's package, it can expand to an ...
As a result, default mappings are sometimes wrong (i.e., not matching the labels shown on the keyboard) when using a recent USB Apple keyboard on an older version of Mac OS X, which doesn't know about the new function key mapping of this keyboard (e.g., because Mission control and Launchpad didn't exist at that time, the corresponding labels ...
I also use voice-activated macros and dictation by voice recognition because I have some difficulty using the keyboard/mouse. The program to use for that is dragon naturally speaking professional. Unfortunately its a very expensive program, but the cheaper versions only offer rudimentary support for macros. ssepp (talk) 21:45, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
