I press space after typing the letters. When in a form field, I then tap delete

Hello,

Yes it is a part of OS X and IOS current versions. Not sure how long they’ve 
been there just look under keyboard  preferences in OS x preferences, keyboard 
and on the text tab. For IOS in Settings, general, keyboard and the text 
expansion button.

Hi all,

I'm curious about how others use this feature.  It has always seemed very cool 
to me, but I've never really found a use for it.  I would love to hear examples 
from others of instances where you use text expansion.

Re: Txt expansion

2016-02-17 Thread Caitlyn Furness
I have trouble with the text expansion “sticking”.  I set up one, for example, 
to expand into my email address.  Lots of times, it just remains as the three 
letters and doesn’t expand into what it’s supposed to.

Have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Caitlyn

Hello Gena,

On the Mac, to add a string and substitution:
• In System Preferences, press k for Keyboard and VO-Space to open that tab;
• Select Text;
• Press VO-Cmd-t to go to the table of substitutions;
• Press VO-Down Arrow to get to the Add button;
• Press VO-Space on the button and type your string;
• Press VO-Right Arrow and type your expanded text.

That’s it. To add a line break, press Option-Return.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Txt expansion

2016-02-16 Thread Georgina Joyce
Hello Jonathan,

That’s exactly what I want to do but do they get carried across all your 
devices or do you have to enter them on each device you wish to use? On the Mac 
You have to do a lot of VO navigation, after pressing the add button, you have 
to VO 9 times. As for IOS, the focus seems to vary using my Apple keyboard. So 
I purchased text expander and the touch version. But that is great for bigger 
snippets. Have you found a quick way of entering abbreviations on the Mac? I 
wonder if you use a lot of the braille contractions? I had put them in my phone 
but then removed them because I put a space after them. I used the semicolon 
for the 4,5 prefix and the colon for 4,5,6, oh and the full stop as dot 5 or 6.

Oh and I wondered have you found a way to put a line break, so you could do 
things like postal addresses? BTW: Do you know what is the maximum character 
length?

I look forward to any comments and or tips you might have in respect of the 
above.

Kind regards,

Gena

Re: Txt expansion

2016-02-16 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Hi Gina, I use the text expansion built into Mac and iOS and it's a huge time 
saver. I've got a lot of three-letter abbreviations that result in expansion 
into very lengthy messages. It's great for inquiries I get regularly, and I 
like that once I get an expansion added, it's available on all my OS X and iOS 
devices. It rocks rather majorly I reckon.

Txt expansion

2016-02-15 Thread Georgina Joyce
Hello all ,

I wondered if any use txt expansion on their IOS or Mac? While I can input my 
abbreviations myself, it seems it is a very 
Painful exercise using Apple's shortcut options in keyboard shortcuts.

Is there an app that has  predefined routines?
A common method is to not type vowel letters for example.

Many thanks
