Expansion Fails in One App or Changes Formatting
On this page
If Keywords expand in most apps but not in one, the app is limiting what Typing Hero can do.
Nothing happens in one app
- Check that the field isn't a password field or another sensitive field. The new accessibility service skips those.
- Try another field in the same app, such as a reply box instead of a search box.
- Use Quick Access to insert the Text Snippet.
If Keywords fail in every app, see A Keyword Does Not Expand.
Formatting is lost
Rich-text editors can lose formatting when Typing Hero replaces a Keyword. In those fields, Typing Hero may show Copy and paste to preserve formatting instead of replacing the Keyword, and you paste the Template yourself.
See Copy a Prepared Template and Paste It Yourself.
If Typing Hero replaces the Keyword without offering Copy, check this setting:
- Open the Settings tab.
- Tap Detection and replacement.
- Tap Unreliable replacement.
- Choose Offer Copy.
Offer Copy doesn't apply to every field. If formatting is still lost, send me app logs, and I'll look into it.
The Template lands in the wrong place
Collect and send me app logs while it happens, and I'll look into it.
Report the app
If a Keyword still doesn't expand in an app, send me app logs, and I'll look into it.
