The reason for the failure is that LDRK, like LDPM, saves keystrokes
as live XPL code (as you'd expect for a macro recorder), not as an
inert string. To perform a string equivalency test in your example,
you first have to resave the contents of S/G 1 as a string, with

"abcdx"):

XPLeNCODE

As to , it reads the first character or function in a key
assignment and allows the rest to execute. Compare , which reads
the first char or func in the key assignment and discards the rest.
