Hi Lynne and Sandy, My post showed up after Sandy's, but it contains full instructions for defining shortcuts under Settings > General > Keyboard in the first part. I also outlined how this would work under TextExpander Touch for iOS, since you'd have to double tap the "Action" button and choose the option for "Copy All Text" (or "Send Email" or "Send Message" if you're sending an email or SMS from within the app) to copy to clipboard. The problem is that you'd have to copy to clipboard, then use the App Switcher to switch back to mail and paste in the copied text. Every app I've seen that tries to deal with multiple signatures appears to make you paste in the copied text.
TextExpander Touch on the iOS might still be useful to Gordon if he's working with coding, since the snippets allow for the coded bits that precede and follow commands to be inserted around your current insertion point position. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Apr 23, 2012, at 9:31 AM, Sandy Tomkins wrote: > Hallo Lynne, > > Sorry, my explanation was very bad, I was using the onboard keyboard!
