Recognition Settings
Here users can adjust various recognition settings. To get to this page:
Click on the
Recognition Settingstab of the PolarityCE - Advanced Settings window.
Name Transformations
When enabled, Polarity will recognize first and last name pairs as the same entity regardless of the order. For example, the entity "Joe Miller" will be recognized by Polarity even if it appears on your screen as "Miller, Joe".
Recognition settings only affect Polarity Enterprise users
Shortcut Keys
Here users can customize the shortcut key bindings for running an on-demand search of their clipboard contents.
Click on the
Shortcut Keystab of the Advanced Settings window.
To customize your shortcut keys, click on Edit then select the input and type in the desired shortcut key combination.
To reset key bindings to their factory default settings click on Revert to Default for the appropriate function.
All shortcut keys must start with a modifier key (Shift, control, command etc.) and each binding can contain up to three keys.
If you decide to change the default key bindings, note that not starting with "CTRL+C" will prevent text from being copied to the clipboard. It is currently not possible to create another key binding that involves a "Hold".
If you change the On-demand shortcut from Ctrl+c (Hold) to Alt+c+c the entity queried will not be the text that you selected but will be whatever was last saved to your clipboard.
