iOS keyboard 8: TextExpander will allow to use shortcuts for all applications

Among the new features of iOS 8, ​​there is one that seems to attract all desires, the arrival of alternative keyboards.

Many players already on Android as Fleksy have already indicated that they would indeed be present on the Apple platform. Beyond simple keyboard that makes typing faster, others are beginning to point the tip of their nose. This is for example the case QuickBoard.

Today, with TextExpander is an established player on Mac and iOS, but not necessarily expected in the field of keyboards that appeared. More than keyboard is actually shortcuts discussed:


Again, iOS natively offers integration shortcuts. The concern is that Apple's solution is actually very limited. No newline or even colors. Shortcuts to Apple source should be simple. At this moment comes TextExpander who intends to incorporate a keyboard in its iOS application.

On Mac, TextExpander specializes in shortcuts. Thanks to him, we can quickly integrate pieces of text, code that it is necessary to repeat often and save time. This is exactly what the developers have to bring their keyboard.

And with iOS 8, TextExpander can add their shortcuts around native apps like email, but also in third-party apps and one can easily imagine that it should be possible to synchronize its shortcuts between the iPhone, iPad and mac.

And for the curious, developers will soon launch the beta. All details are on their blog.

Again, this seems particularly interesting. I can not wait to see what developers will book us now Apple has decided to open their doors a little over iOS.
