 To specify that any combination of ''SHIFT'', ''CTRL'' and ''ALT'' should be held down while several other keys are pressed, enclose the code for those keys in parentheses. For example, to specify to hold down ''SHIFT'' while ''E'' and ''C'' are pressed, use ''+(EC)''. To specify to hold down ''SHIFT'' while ''E'' is pressed, followed by ''C'' without ''SHIFT'', use ''+EC''.
-To specify repeating keys, use the form ''{key count}''. You must put a space between ''key'' and ''count''. For example, ''{LEFT 42}'' means press the ''CURSOR LEFT'' key 42 times; ''{h 10}'' means press ''H'' 10 times.
