Input and Selection variables (INPUT_VarName or SELECT_VarName) can be also used in the conditional statements (Condition macro) or in the custom user commands (scripts). Use 'No Output' prefix "_" in front of a variable name (for example _VarName) to instruct FastKeys not to output the value. This is useful for using input and selection values later in the conditional statements.
