    Nonquoted items in the Expansion field are names of actions, as defined in the Key Bindings Property Editor.

While recording a macro, do not rely on time-out features like the automatic display of the Code Completion box. The time-out will not happen during playback. If you want to use the code completion box in a macro, display it explicitly while recording using Ctrl-spacebar.
