Modifying the Live Symbolic Operator |
If you need to symbolically evaluate an expression in a particular way, use a keyword to modify the live symbolic operator. To do so:
Type the expression.
Press [Ctrl][Shift][.] to insert a placeholder and the symbolic equal sign.
Type a keyword in the placeholder or choose a keyword from the Symbolic toolbar. If the keyword takes a modifier, type a comma followed by the modifier. If there is more than one, type them separated by commas.
Press [Enter].
The symbolic processor returns a result based on the keyword you typed. You can symbolically evaluate this result further by using several keywords.

Using multiple keywords |
To see intermediate results, select all of a keyworded expression, press [Ctrl][Shift][.] and type another keyword.
To apply several keywords but see only one final result, select only the keyword of a keyworded expression, press [Ctrl][Shift][.], and type another keyword.

Display of keywords |
You can choose to hide keywords or the entire left-hand side of an expression. Right click on the keywords or the left-hand expression and choose Hide keywords or Hide left-hand side. Click outside the region to see the new display. Uncheck these options to make the expressions and keywords visible again.
You can also change the display of the symbolic evaluation symbol to an equals sign.
