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.
