Undo a Replacement
On this page
If a Keyword expands when you didn't want it to, press Backspace right away. Typing Hero removes the Template and puts back what you typed.
Undo works only as the next thing you do. After you type more, move the cursor, or switch fields, Backspace deletes text normally.
Turn Undo on or off
Undo with Backspace is on by default. Turn it off if you want Backspace to always delete a character.
- Open the Settings tab.
- Tap Detection and replacement.
- Turn Undo with Backspace on or off.
Undo after an Action Premium
Backspace can also undo many Actions. Some Actions can't be undone:
- Deleting or cutting all text, or from the start to the cursor, can't bring the removed text back.
- Selection Actions leave text selected, so Backspace deletes the selection.
Each Action's Example (Example) in the Actions tab lists its limits.
A Template with a Command can't be undone, and Undo may not be available in some fields.
When Undo is available, Backspace undoes only the latest Replacement. If Detect Keywords after Replacement is on and that Replacement came from a Text Snippet you chose in Suggestions, Typing Hero can show Suggestions for the restored text. Otherwise, Typing Hero leaves the restored text as it is.
