TextExpander

Fantastic app, right out the gate -- thank you so much for developing this. I just started using it and I already want more: how about TextExpander support for all us lousy tyists (see?)

 

Cheers,

Hi BarryP,

 

Thanks for the kind words.

 

Fantastic app, right out the gate -- thank you so much for developing this. I just started using it and I already want more: how about TextExpander support for all us lousy tyists (see?)

 

Someone asked about TextExpander on the Facebook page too, and I did some investigation.

 

Short answer: TextExpander only supports plain text, so Storyist for iPad can't use it.

 

Longer answer: TextExpander works by integrating with the standard iOS text controls, which only support plain text. Storyist for iPad provides rich text editing (mixed fonts, styles, etc...), and so doesn't use the standard iOS text controls in the text editor.

 

I'll contact them and see if there is another approach. If there is, and there is enough interest, I might add it.

 

Note: I added a poll to this topic. If you want to indicated interest in the feature, go ahead and vote.
