Command: Insert Output

Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+O

Symbol: _ld_icon_output.png

Function: The command inserts an output at the selected position. When you drag the element from the toolbox to the implementation part, the plus symbol at the cursor (_ld_img_cursor_insert_position.png) helps you recognize the possible insert positions. You can replace the initially displayed question marks (???) with a variable name. The variable can have any data type and does not have to be BOOL.

This is a triangle which points downwards or upwards (_ld_icon_triangle_down.png, _ld_icon_triangle_up.png). Then when you open the menu or context menu, the Insert Output (parallel) command will be displayed instead of the Insert Output command.
