68548 | 19 You define a keyboard macro by executing and recording the commands |
20 which are its definition. Put differently, as you define a keyboard | |
21 macro, the definition is being executed for the first time. This way, | |
22 you can see the effects of your commands, so that you don't have to | |
23 figure them out in your head. When you close the definition, the | |
24 keyboard macro is defined and also has been, in effect, executed once. | |
25 You can then do the whole thing over again by invoking the macro. | |
