Shortcut Edit

This dialog lets you enter or edit a shortcut.

A shortcut is an operation that you can do on a prayer to make a whole lot of changes in a single action.   Shortcuts appear as buttons on a toolbar on the Prayer Details screen.   When you press the button, the shortcut makes the changes to the current prayer.

Shortcut Name

This field lets you type in the name for the shortcut.   This will appear as a button on the Prayer Details dialog (so it is a good idea to keep the name fairly short).   For example, the Prayer to Thanks shortcut could be called "Answered".

New Prayer Type

You can use a shortcut to change the prayer to a different type.   For example, you might want to change a Prayer to a Thanksgiving if the prayer is answered.   If this shortcut should change the prayer type to Thanks, then select Thanks from the combo box here.   This combo contains all of the prayer types.

If you don't want to change the type, select "<None>" from the combo box.

If you change type, the prayer will have its schedule set to the default schedule for that prayer type (unless you use "Modify Schedule" below).

Modify Schedule

Shortcuts let you modify the schedule for the prayer.

The modify schedule combo has 4 options:

Pray Today

This combo box lets you choose what will happen with the prayer in terms of praying it today.
