Speeding up VR editing - with IT

requires a new set of glossaries with entries and I understand your frustration. It is a new investment of time.  For these glossary you would mainly use the items of the new Instant Text 7 Command menu.

It takes indeed time to make an inventory of the most frequently occurring mistakes in VR drafts. You can start with simple things that you need to do all the time such as add a comma, add a comma + and, add a comma + but, add a hyphen, move cursor to different positions, beginning or end of paragraph, etc.

All this can be done with easy-to-type shortcuts of your choosing.

To chain several commands you can record the keyboard shortcuts in the specific platform you are using. You would do that when you want to create a more complex glossary entry. It is like creating a macro: by trial and error you will get it right. :-)

Once you have created a good editing glossary you can combine it with your existing glossaries by including it. The "expander" glossaries are still useful as you want to have the phrases of your doctors and the continuations right at your fingertips in case you need to clarify incoherent sentences or retype them.
