Like s7ar Scr3am - don't currently have any set up but there's some good ideas in this thread so thanks for it. Funnily enough, I was thinking today about setting one up for my email address.

bld = [ B ]
bld1 = [ /B]
img = [ img ]
img1 = [ /img ]

That is just a few

Why not just set up bld = [ B ] [ /B] ? Then just use the trackball to scroll back to the middle and start typing. Might save a little extra time.

because then u have to use the symbols key. whereas the bld is the keyboard

What? No you don't. You type bld and you get [ B] [ /B]. No symbol key involved.

I have a lot of symbols setup and a few signature shortcuts.

Only have two so far as I only started using this feature this week and both were at the suggestion of CB members:

"Sig1" for my first e-mail signature which is my business signature complete with address/tel/fax/e-mail addy and

"Sig2" for my regular e-mail signature

[FF22]

Since you have to press SPACE before typing "nSPACE", you're still using the same number of keystrokes to create the character. I don't really see the benefit of this one.

I prefer not dealing with the ALT key when possible - might just be my quirk. I have the ! mark in my set, also.

Hey, if it works for you, that's awesome. lol

This thread gave me a brilliant idea yesterday. I set up 'jobapp' as a standard job application letter so that if I'm out and hear about a job, I can ask for the email address, type up a covering letter quickly, attach my CV/Resume (which is already on my berry) and fire it off.

[Jfredrix]

I'd like to see more of what others are doing. These autotext shortcuts are a big help. Some of mine:

I have autotexts for all times of the day in 30 minute increments such that 1230 = 12:30, etc.

I have autotext shortcuts for all days of the week and months.

I have autotexts shortcuts for my full name, my email Address and home address.

Ui = I'd (to eliminate confusion with "if").

Se = see (to avoid confusion with "are").

W = $ (eliminates one keyboard switch when entering a dollar amount).

Hbd = Happy Birthday

Ily = I love you

I have others but those are the best. There must be other good ideas out there???

itz = it's

anp = &

XX(space) = email signature

eqz = "="

dlz = $

pct = %

[sessydimples]

thanks for some of these. I snagged a few

[Username0223]

Wen I typ 3 a's in a row and hit space then send for wen people tx me wen I'm driving-this is the msg they get-DRIVING MODE AUTO RESPONSE: HI I'M DRIVING RIGHT NOW & CAN'T REPLY TO YOUR MSG BUT I WILL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! THX $HELLI

My initials inserts my full name.
The rest are mostly work related and Accounting acronyms.

And one for BBM while driving:
Ppp = Driving now. I'll get back to you when I'm stopped.

that is such a great idea!! I love it!!

[NinjaRose]

I recently set some up for filling in forms online.

Mymail
Myname
Myadd
Mystadd

I'm probably going to steal a few from this thread as well.

Just like me... I am jacking this one too! Great idea!!

[carolmiss]

I have added some of the ones suggested here. And I am still looking for more.

[JimiPop]

Exactly what the title states. Just hoping to pickup some good shortcuts on this. So what autotext does everyone have setup?

I don't have very many. I hate when words that need conjuctions don't have conjuctions. So when I type "its" and it needs a conjuction, it won't come out. Obviously because "its" fits in the context of a certain sentence. So instead I setup "itz" and auto goes "it's." (I know, I'm obsessed)

itz = it's

weree = we're

ure = you're

ur = your

nwo = n.W.o. (inside joke)

illl = I'll

Just to name a few. Then of course I have symbols setup for BBM.

Your autexts shoud have been manually set for contractions. "It's vs its" is a good one. Whenever you type a word that automatically puts in the apostrophy, hit backspace tothe last letter, it'll automatically remove te apostrophy and keep it gone.

I like this idea. Since I don't drive often, I will tweak this one to "I'm busy right now. I'll get back to you later."

Thanks for this cool idea
