Detect Keywords after Replacement

After a Replacement, Typing Hero can check for a Keyword again, just as it does when you type.

Turn on detection after Replacement

  1. Open the Settings tab.
  2. Tap Detection and replacement.
  3. If Detect Keywords is off, turn it on.
  4. Turn on Detect Keywords after Replacement.

What happens after a Replacement

Typing Hero checks the text before the cursor. If a Template moves the cursor with the Cursor Placeholder, Typing Hero checks at the new position.

If a Template asks for details, Typing Hero checks after you answer and the Replacement finishes.

Depending on the match and your settings, Typing Hero can:

If there's no match, Typing Hero leaves the text as it is.

When detection stops

If you edit the text, move the cursor, or leave the field, Typing Hero stops checking the inserted text. You can type a new Keyword as usual.

Typing Hero runs up to 20 Replacements or Actions in a row. If another match would exceed that limit, the Keyword stays in the field. Suggestions can still appear.

If this limit gets in your way, email me and tell me what you're trying to do.

When Undo is available, Backspace undoes only the latest Replacement. If that Replacement came from a Text Snippet you chose in Suggestions, Typing Hero can check the restored text again and show Suggestions for it.

Typing Hero never replaces the restored text on its own. After any other Replacement, Typing Hero leaves the restored text as it is.
