#text replacement

Finally, tonight, I had enough and added a text replacement rule to fix it. It’s now in there with various shortcuts for ‘fuck’ lol

So I've been frustrated with writing em dashes, because my small keyboard doesn't support numpad shortcuts.

I just discovered Espanso, a tool to create custom text replacements. (There are many similar tools, but I like that this is free and open source.) I added my preferred shortcut for an em dash ( :-- ), and voila!

It also has built in features like adding today's date, which is nice for titling my daily brainstorming docs.

You can switch the app to night mode with a single click. This is a very helpful feature for those who use to surf this application at night.

You can even set the text expansion settings as per your preference.

Setting the appearance of the phrase is also possible using this Writing Star Application

So, Download this awesome app today.

How to recover missing keyboard shortcuts on iOS

I experienced the exact same problem with iOS 11 on an iPhone 7. I found the solution in a different Apple Discussions thread for people who had experienced a similar problem after iOS 10 on an iPhone 6/6s. But it also works for iOS 11 & iPhone 7 as well.

Here’s how to fix it (I don’t know if each step is necessary, but I followed it step-by-step and it worked perfectly for me):

Go into Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement

There shouldn’t be any text replacement shortcuts listed

Go back to Keyboard (I had all of the auto-switches for Auto-Capitalization, Auto-Correction, Check Spelling, etc. enabled)

Turn off Auto-Capitalization, Auto-Correction and "." Shortcut

Immediately turn off** your phone without leaving the page (**to clarify: turn your phone off does not mean reset your phone; you have actually manually turn off your phone off the right way)

Wait a minute or so before turning it back on

Open up Settings > General > Keyboard

Turn back on all the switches that you turned off in step 4

Wait a minute or so, and then go into Text Replacement, and all your previously saved ones should be there again
