Currently the solution of this problem is fairly simple. Example:
---
<command name="untabify">
<macro>
<sequence>
<choice>
<command name="run"
parameter='[Windows] C:\cygwin\bin\expand "%F"'/>
<command name="run"
parameter='[Unix] expand "%F"' />
</choice>
<command name="paste" parameter="toOrInto %_" />
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>
<binding>
<keyPressed code="ESCAPE" />
<charTyped char="8" />
<command name="untabify" />
</binding>
---
Notice [1] the use of <choice> [2] The "[Windows]" and "[Unix]"
prefixing the commands. A "[Mac]" option is available too, see:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/run.html
However this will *not* work in XXE v2.11 (July 11, 2005) as the
platform option has been added to command run in XXE v3.1.0 (January 30,
2006). See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/changes.html
