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.

8 arrive with iOS as many new extensions or even interactive notifications.

Among the many new, Apple has chosen to finally allow alternative keyboards to get a place on iOS. TouchPal or Fleksy for example, have already begun to reveal some of what their solution.

When we think alternative keyboard, it is generally thought to change foction base to successfully type faster. In QuickBoard, the idea is completely different:

Rather than simply suggest ways to type faster, Kevin Wolkober, decided to give a little more to his keyboard. Based on the observation that the same thing is often tape or very often, he had the idea of ​​incorporating shortcuts to add a click, a signature, and address.

Certainly, it already exists in the form of iOS keyboard shortcuts, but they are much more limited and require remember every shortcut entered. QuickBoard can insert a signature, GPS coordinates, address ... and anything that will be helpful.

QuickBoard thus divided into three parts: TextBoard, MeBoard and LocationBoard. Each allows the user to enter in advance elements often repeated to gain some time. To set all this and allow the use of the keyboard and its shortcuts, QuickBoard app must be installed on iOS 8.

This is a very clever layout that we could very quickly not knowing without. Patience, more than a few weeks to wait before the arrival of iOS 8.

Call premium automatic possible from iPhone apps such as Facebook, Gmail, Facetime etc ...

This is very bad news that just fell today, it confirms suspicions that they had to the editor recently.

A developer has taken the time to analyze the functioning of the Internet browser that Apple provides applications and discovered that it was possible for a malicious person, trigger unintentional calls to a premium rate number.

Tips:

When accidentally delete photos on your iPhone, which have good memory with your friends or family members, and want to get them back? Read this post on how to get back deleted photos on your iPhone.

When we voluntarily click a phone number displayed on a web page, a confirmation is requested and the Appellate app starts dialing the number.

Unfortunately, when the same browser is called within an application, such as Facebook, Gmail, Facetime or other, there is no confirmation ... As a result, it is possible to initiate calls without the user can intercept. And this is where the old classic calls to premium rate numbers back on the front of the stage.

Thus, the Danish developer Andrei Neculaesei described on his blog how it was possible, using javascript language on a given page, displayed from any application using the browser offered by Apple, to call a premium rate number without the user can not prevent it. When he hangs up, it's too late, it already numbered and reaches the server, leaving a few euros in the process.

I myself have been a victim of this problem by clicking on a recent publicity and a reader recently alerted us off on regular packages on a non-jailbroken iPhone.

With the wide publication of the method, one can only fear the proliferation of this type of scam.

We must now hope that Apple quickly will propose a modification of the behavior of the browser page integrated with apps, to ask for confirmation on appeal. Otherwise, the parade is now asking blocking these calls on your package in case your carrier supports it.

Meanwhile, it is for each application to manage to prevent this. Facebook said it had already started the development to avoid the problem in its application.

Mercedes Benz has confirmed that it would take 2015 Same for Volvo reportedly told 9to5Mac see availability CarPlay next year without giving further details. Same version in which Honda is also talking about 2015.

At first glance, the integration of CarPlay in production models would be a little more complicated than expected and would have resulted in delays. Some even talk like Volvo to prepare their models CarPlay that will happen in the course of 2015.

If auto manufacturers are all more or less the same point, accessory manufacturers do not do much better. Thus, Pioneer announced that able to offer car radios CarPlay this summer is still out anything.

Then rest when the need arises and the time to return approach, to be guided to the car.

For more simplicity, Apple even imagine that one can ask Siri to take us to the car. Equally interesting, not just Apple would use the iPhone GPS to guide us, but motion sensors, gyroscope, the pedometer ... to assess the location relative to the car and determine the best way to turn back.

Since this is only patent unclear whether Apple will choose to join or not this technology in the future, but there is no doubt that if this is the case, this is a feature that should make us well services.
