ShortCuts Preferences
The ShortCuts Preferences screen enables you to define abbreviations for entering text with
Graffiti. This section describes how to create, edit and delete a shortcut. For details on the
use of ShortCuts, see the
Graffiti ShortCuts on page 3-16.
Creating a ShortCut
You can create a ShortCut for any words, letters or numbers. All ShortCuts you create appear
on the list in the ShortCut Preferences screen. All the ShortCuts are available in any of your
SPT 1700 terminal applications and are backed up on your computer when you perform a
HotSync operation.
To create a ShortCut:
1. Tap the New button in the ShortCut Preferences screen to open the ShortCut Entry
dialog.
2. On the ShortCut name line, enter the letters you want to use to activate the ShortCut.
3. Tap the ShortCut Text area and enter the text that you want to appear when you
write the ShortCut characters.
Tip: You may want to add a space (space character) after the last word in your
ShortCut text. This way, a space automatically follows the ShortCut text.
4. Tap the OK button to close the ShortCut Entry dialog and define your ShortCut.
Tip: To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke followed by the ShortCut
characters. When you draw the ShortCut stroke, the ShortCut symbol
appears at the insertion point to show that you are in ShortCut mode.
