Figure 20-1: Here are some shortcuts and phrases we've created.
4. Tap Save.
After you create a shortcut, just tap its name to change (edit) it.
After you create and edit 'em, here's how you use 'em:
To insert a phrase, type its keyboard shortcut. Say the shortcut is cty , as shown in Figure 20-1 . If
you stop after you type y , the phrase appears below the cursor, as shown in Figure 20-2 . To insert
the phrase, press the spacebar on your iPad keyboard; to ignore it, tap the gray x to the right of the
phrase.
Figure 20-2: Type a space to insert the phrase, “I'll call or text you as soon as I'm free.”
One last thing: You can use the same technique to create keyboard shortcuts like this on an iPhone
or iPod touch. Although you can't easily sync or share your shortcuts, you can create and use them
on any device running iOS 5 or later.
