Hotspot Options

Modify the selected hotspot using the following options:

Select Action Select an action to associate with the specified hotspot text.
Tooltip Type the text to display when the mouse cursor is over the hotspot.
Match case Select to make the hotspot you are editing case sensitive.
Only valid at row If selected, the hotspot will appear only if the text is in the specified row.
Only valid at column If selected, the hotspot will appear only if the text is in the specified column.
Auto invoke when text appears on display Select to cause the hotspot to be invoked as soon as it appears on the screen.
Text is preceded by a delimiter Select to match the text only if the text is preceded by a delimiter specified under Hotspot Delimiter. For example, if you define the hotspot "host" and select this option, the word "unixhost" wouldn't be a hotspot.
Text is followed by a delimiter Select to match the text only if the text is followed by a delimiter specified under Hotspot Delimiter. For example, if you define the hotspot "host" and select this option, the word "hostfile" wouldn't be a hotspot.
Match until a delimiter Select to define the end of the hotspot as the delimiter(s) specified under Hotspot Delimiter.
