2 ShortCuts
Graffiti 2 ShortCuts allow you to quickly enter commonly-used words or phrases. ShortCuts are similar to the Glossary or Autotext
features of some word processors. Graffiti 2 writing comes with several predefined ShortCuts. You can also create your own
ShortCuts for any words, letters, or numbers.
You can create ShortCuts for words or phrases up to 45 characters long using ShortCut preferences. For example, you could create a
ShortCut for your name or for the header of a memo. All ShortCuts you create appear on the list in the ShortCut Preferences screen.
ShortCuts are available in any of your handheld applications and are backed up on your computer when you perform a HotSync
®
operation.
Your handheld includes the following predefined Graffiti 2 ShortCuts for common entries:
• ds—Date stamp
• ts—Time stamp
• dts—Date/time stamp
• me—Meeting
• br—Breakfast
• lu—Lunch
• di—Dinner
To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke followed by the ShortCut character or characters. When you draw the ShortCut stroke,
the ShortCut symbol appears at the insertion point.
