You could use Siri. Say, Send a text message to name1 and name2 and name3. Standard dictate from there. (Obviously, use the names of the people you want in place of 1 and 2, etc.) - Original Message - From: Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) To: viphone@googlegroups.com

I have had a problem with the shift key not responding to a doubletap. What worked for me and which surprised me, btw, was that changing the rate of the doubletap made a difference in how the shift key worked. I had to slow down my usual speed. What I usually did worked for my 7.12 iPhone

Shift In 8.1.1

2014-11-27 Thread Gary Petraccaro
I'm seeing a bug with the shift key in touch typing. I think that's what it's called. When I tripple tap the shift key, it goes to typing uppercase. Either tripple tapping or double tapping does not bring back lowercase. Likewise, if I doubletap the shift, it goes to uppercase, but after
