Turn Keyword Detection Off or On

Turn off Keyword detection when you want to type a Keyword as plain text, or stop Replacements for a while.

In Settings

1. Open the Settings tab.
2. Tap Detection and replacement.
3. Turn Detect Keywords off or on.

From Quick Settings

Android's Quick Settings panel can hold a Detect Keywords tile, so you can turn Keyword detection off without opening Typing Hero.

Android's edit button and tile list look different on each phone.

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings.
2. Tap the edit button.
3. Drag the Detect Keywords tile into your tiles.

Tap the tile to turn Keyword detection off or on.

What turning it off stops

While Keyword detection is off, typing a Keyword does nothing: no Replacements and no Actions.

Quick Access still opens, so you can insert a Text Snippet from there.

Turning off the accessibility service in Android's settings stops everything Typing Hero does in text fields. Turn Detect Keywords off instead when you only want to stop for a while.

Turn on Detect Keywords after Replacement if you want Typing Hero to check for a Keyword again after it inserts a Template.
