match rule


Summary

The match rule is fired after any rule is matched and fired in the same group.

Syntax

match > ...

Description

In each group, if Keyman finds a match rule, it will fire it after a rule in the group was matched. A match rule can include use() statements, return statements, beep statements and characters.

Note: the match rule will not be fired if the rule in the group that was matched includes a use() statement in its output. A workaround for this situation is to duplicate the match rule output in the output of rules that contain use() statements. A more comprehensive solution may be included in future versions of the language.
