Choose Replacement Behavior
On this page
Replacement Behavior controls how a Keyword is replaced. The options depend on how many Templates contain text.
- Open the Text Snippet.
- If Replacement Behavior is hidden, tap Show Replacement Behavior (Show Replacement Behavior), the button inside the Keyword field.
- Choose an option.
- Tap Save (Save).
With one Template
With one Template, Expand after space sets when the Keyword is replaced.
| Expand after space | What happens |
|---|---|
| Off | The Keyword is replaced as soon as you finish typing it. |
| On | The Keyword is replaced after you type a space. |
Turn it on if the Keyword is also the start of a longer word you type.
With multiple Templates Premium
When two or more Templates contain text, choose how Typing Hero picks one. Expand after space isn't available.
| Option | What happens |
|---|---|
| Manual | You choose a Template each time. |
| First | Typing Hero always uses the first Template. |
| Random | Typing Hero picks a Template at random. |
| Sequential | Typing Hero uses the next Template each time and starts again after the last one. |
With Manual, the Keyword is only replaced when you choose a Template from Suggestions.
If Show Suggestions while typing and Show Templates for full Keywords are both off, Typing Hero shows a dialog when you save:
- Select Show Templates for full Keywords.
- Tap Save.
The Templates will appear in Suggestions when you finish typing the Keyword.
Typing Hero uses the same Replacement Behavior when it detects a Text Snippet's Keyword after a Replacement.
