<p>For finger drills and learning the keys on the steno keyboard,
you'll want to make Plover send the raw output instead of
translating it into words. To do this, show Plover's main window
(<code>PHROBGS</code> is the usual chord for this, or there should
be an icon in the task bar). Then un-check the checkboxes next to
<code>main.json</code> and <code>user.json</code> to turn them off
temporarily.</p>
<div style="text-align:center"><img src="plover-4.png" alt="Plover main window, showing the
dictionary list with checkboxes to disable each one."></div>
<hr style="margin: 2em 0px 3em">
<p>Alternatively, you can open the Plugins Manager from the Plover
main window and install the <code>plover_dict_commands</code>
plugin. You may need to restart Plover after installing the plugin?
Not sure about that.</p>
<p>Define a dictionary entry to switch to raw steno: maybe in
<code>commands.json</code>. I think many people use
<code>RA*U</code> as <code>{PLOVER:solo_dict:+commands.json}</code>.
This will ensure that <code>commands.json</code> is enabled, and
will disable all other dictionaries. Then you'll need a definition
to enable your dictionaries again. The command for this is
<code>{PLOVER:end_solo_dict}</code>.</p>
<p>Personally I do this slightly differently: I have a special
dictionary <code>return-from-raw.json</code> (which I put at the
very bottom of the dictionary list) with the following contents:</p>
<div><code><pre>{
"RA*U": "{PLOVER:end_solo_dict}",
"R-R": "{^~|\n^}",
"STK-G": "{#right}"
}</pre></code></div>
<p>Then my normal <code>RA*U</code> command is
<code>{PLOVER:solo_dict:+return-from-raw.json}</code>. So I can use
<code>RA*U</code> to toggle raw-mode on and off, and in raw mode I
only have Return (which you press three times to repeat an exercise
in Steno Jig) and the right arrow (which randomly generates a new
exercise).</p>
