Copy a Prepared Template and Paste It Yourself

On this page

When Typing Hero can't replace a Keyword reliably, or you open Quick Access and tap Copy, it prepares the Template and copies it. You then paste it yourself. This keeps formatting in apps where a Replacement would remove it.

What Copy prepares

  • Placeholders are filled in. Dates and times use the moment you copy, and prompts such as a Form or Contact ask you first.
  • Commands do not run. Send, Send and Back, and Keyboard Action are left out of the copied Template, so nothing is sent.

Paste after typing a Keyword

When you type a Keyword or tap a Suggestion in a field where Replacement may be unreliable, Typing Hero shows Copy instead of replacing it. See When Replacement may be unreliable.

  1. Tap Copy. Typing Hero copies the Template and selects the Keyword.
  2. Paste over the selected Keyword.

If Typing Hero shows Select the Keyword, then paste, select the Keyword yourself before you paste.
