RE: Iphone Shortcuts
Hi Brian, No, if you write any text in another app and it is on 2 or more lines, it will all be on one line if you paste it into the phrase field when creating a keyboard shortcut. I tried this before with the following: Best regards, Sieghard I thought I could write this text in a text editor or copy it from an email message, but when I tried it and then expanded it, it looked like this: Best regards, Sieghard Maybe at some point Apple will make it possible to have line breaks in the phrase field of a keyboard shortcut, but remember it is supposed to be a shortcut for common phrases not for entire paragraphs. I still find this very handy for things like my various email addresses or even my first name which has 8 letters and which I can type with 2 letters just as my first and last name which has a 2-letter abbreviation. I assume somebody could really go to town and enter braille contractions like tm for tomorrow, AFN for afternoon, ALR for already etc. My problem is that except for those really common things like my emails and so on, half the time I don't remember I set up a keyboard shortcut. Take care, Sieghard ---Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of brian albriton Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2013 10:32 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Iphone Shortcuts Could you compose the text in notes and put in the line breaks there?

RE: Iphone Shortcuts
To my knowledge, there is no way to insert a line break/carriage return into a shortcut with the builtin shortcut facility. There are probably third party apps that will accomplish it but they would not be usable system wide un-jail broken. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of sen...@gmail.com Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2013 9:07 PM To: ViPhone Subject: Iphone Shortcuts The iphone shortcuts are really a great way of inputing oft repeated words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs and even whole pages just by entering a few letters!
