normal

Type

keyword

Summary

Used with the visual effect command to designate a straight cut between two cards with no visual effect. Also used with the find command to search at the beginnings of one or more words.

Syntax

normal

Description

Use the normal keyword to improve the clarity of your code, or to provide a cut to one of the supported visual effect colors.

Since normal is the default mode for the find command, you never need to actually use the normal keyword; if you leave it out, the search is performed in normal mode anyway.

When used with the find command, the normal keyword finds cards that contain each of the specified word beginnings, though not necessarily next to each other.

Examples

find normal "run" -- finds "run" and "running", but not "grunt"
visual effect normal to black -- cut to black

command: find, visual effect

glossary: command, keyword

keyword: word, words

object: card
