Match builder

Match builder dialog

The lower toolbar includes a Builder button, which is linked to the match builder dialog. The dialog enables you to build a match using a graphical interface with over 30 configurable “building blocks” (Espanso code constructs). It includes a preview of the match that updates as you build with full syntax highlighting. The match can then be copied to the clipboard for use in a match file. The match builder dialog works alongside the main editor window so that you can move back and forth between the two in a seamless manner.
