Copy, Insert, or Run from Quick Access

On this page

Each item in Quick Access has buttons for what you can do with it:

  • Insert puts the text into the text field you tapped before you opened Quick Access.
  • Copy copies the text, so you can paste it anywhere.
  • Run runs an Action on that text field. Actions require Premium.

Insert or run

  1. Tap the text field where the text should go.
  2. Open Quick Access.
  3. Find the item.
  4. Tap Insert, or Run for an Action.

If a Template asks for details, answer the prompts while Quick Access stays open. Typing Hero then closes Quick Access, returns to the field, and inserts the Template at the cursor.

If you opened Quick Access without tapping a text field first, it shows Tap a text field before opening to insert text or run Actions, and only Copy works.

Copy

  1. Open Quick Access and find the item.
  2. Tap Copy.
  3. Paste the text where you want it.

For what Copy does with Placeholders and Commands, see Copy a Prepared Template and Paste It Yourself.

If you cancel a prompt, Quick Access stays open with your search and selected tab. Nothing is copied or inserted.

If you leave for Home, Recents, or another app during a prompt, the attempt ends and Quick Access closes.

If Insert or Run fails, see Quick Access Cannot Insert Text or Run an Action.

With Detect Keywords after Replacement on, Typing Hero can check for a Keyword again after it inserts text or runs an Action in the same field. Copy leaves the field unchanged.
