[[!template text="""When I get to the body, I use stenotypy""" start="00:04:31.800" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to write the words of the functions I'm looking for.""" start="00:04:34.940" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Then I call a completion framework""" start="00:04:39.060" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""to make it stronger.""" start="00:05:03.280" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Here, I use another skeleton, the same one as before.""" start="00:05:51.460" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""This time, it has an argument.""" start="00:05:57.200" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Then, when I get to the body, I write another skeleton,""" start="00:06:00.880" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""one that has an interesting point between the quotes""" start="00:06:07.240" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Now, I use another skeleton,""" start="00:07:16.120" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""but these ones differ""" start="00:07:18.900" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""If I keep entering text in the prompt,""" start="00:07:27.300" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""When I enter an empty string, it knows to stop asking,""" start="00:07:33.840" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""That's what the underscore means.""" start="00:07:44.620" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I type c and then Emacs, and I get the condition skeleton.""" start="00:07:48.260" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And then I use Corfu and Orderless to program.""" start="00:07:54.120" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""On two functions, I use a dabbrev.""" start="00:08:00.060" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""First, this will give me stop""" start="00:08:22.180" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""because I'm nearest to the word stop.""" start="00:08:24.380" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Then when I call it again, I'll get strawberry.""" start="00:08:27.120" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And if I call it a third time, I'll get string.""" start="00:08:30.500" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""If I start off with S-T-R, then I'll get strawberry first""" start="00:08:35.460" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""I used dabbrev twice in this function.""" start="00:08:42.280" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""If you read the top of the screen,""" start="00:08:46.000" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you can see which commands I use and how I invoke them.""" start="00:08:48.080" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""I've kept the old behavior with an argument of zero""" start="00:09:23.801" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""You can see the interesting points.""" start="00:09:33.600" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""I could jump to any of them or cycle through them.""" start="00:09:36.900" video="mainVideo-steno" id="subtitle"]]
