Re: Shortcut for typing a period ?
Hi Suzanne, in short, double-tap and hold makes the keyboard change temporarily to the numbers keyboard with the common symbols. The period is where the z key is and the comma is where the x key is. So, if you double-tap and hold the numbers button, drag your finger to the location of the z and you will see it's a period, list your finger and a period will be entered, or do the same with a comma or a number. When you do it this way, the keyboard immediately returns back to letters when finished. This is why it's only useful if you will be doing 1 or 2 symbols or numbers in your writing.

Re: Shortcut for typing a period ?
One other neat trick I like in case the press twice thingy doesn't work for you is you can tap and hold, or rather double-tap and hold the more numbers button, and then slide up to the z and let go. This inserts a period as well. The reason is because when you double-tap and hold the numbers button, it temporarilly shows the numbers and symbols screen and the period is where the z key is. When you double-tap and hold and then drag your finger to the z and lift up, it puts a period instead. Sort of like if you use a sticky shift feature, but in this case it's for the numbers and symbols. -- Raul A.

Re: Shortcut for typing a period ?
You would do this with VO on. ALthough be aware this is not a VO-specific feature. You got some other great tips as well which will add to your toolkit.

Re: Shortcut for typing a period ?
Also FYI you can go down a little further to shortcuts and add snipits of text that can be expanded. I use this for text that I want to enter that I enter over and over again. for example my signature below is typed with the letters ffl and it writes VaShaun Jones . President .

Re: Shortcut for typing a period ?
Be sure you have this feature turned on. Go to settings, general, Key board, then period shortcut. Be sure the toggle switch is on. Also, it will not work if you haven't typed a word in first. I tried and even gave a full second between taps, it worked every time. Chuck On Saturday, June 16, 2012 12:01:32 PM UTC-7, AppleGourmet wrote: > > Just aware that I am doing this with voice over on.

Re: Shortcut for typing a period ?
You have to do the tap in a rhythum. You will have to practice, but it should be a tap followed by another tap in quick succession. No more than 1 second apart.. Practice and you will get there. Basically you need to tap so VO inserts or says space and quickly tap again so it is interpreted correctly. I had to learn this myself and sometimes I still manage to mess up. :) On Jun 16, 2012, at 2:48 PM, AppleGourmet wrote: > Sorry but I just can't get it!!

Re: Shortcut for typing a period ?
Sorry but I just can't get it!! Whenever I tap the space bar I get the space! If I hit the space bar twice I get two spaces inserted. Just can't get the period to work. Is any help possible?

Just tap and raise, tap and raise quickly. That is a tab twice quickly and it works. -- Raul A. Gallegos We used to have a chocolate Labrador.One day, it licked itself and died.

RE: Shortcut for typing a period ?
If you do it fast enough, it'll insert the period like it's supposed to.
