If it can work the way I would envision, then it would wait until the first
space or punctuation before it would respond, it would then open the
measurement widget and input
BPM
which in my case (being a short code for nothing in my praxis db) would match
nothing. If you imply a user might set up a measurement with an abbreviation of
BPM
presumably for heart rate) then that is what it would match.
The alternative would be to implement such that it stops short of inputting the
string for the user (since the user could hold off inputting the parameter "BP"
and simply wait til the widget is open). Maybe this is what you intended by way
of "generic" … to allow
$<string>
to be configured in a way that allows any
$<specific string>
to call a menu item of the user's preference, if that is manageable enough. If
that were to be the preferred implementation I might for example personally use
$ms (for "measurement")
which is three keystrokes instead of 6 and (in the alternative) avoids to need
to use the mouse and avoids to lose the time to visually scan the menu system
to locate that which however helpful is buried among many other items. This
would be the alternative to $<val> involving but a single keystroke ($) and the
subsequent string serving to populate the first field of the widget.
