Graffiti's shortcut feature lets you enter up to 250 characters using just a few
quick strokes.
To create a shortcut first get into an application that accepts Graffiti
Shortcut input, such as NotePad, Jotter. a Note field in the application that
have them, and most text fields. Tap on the graffiti icon at the right of your
screen to bring up the Graffiti box. Make sure non e of the squares on the
Graffiti screen are selected. For example, if either the ABC square or the 123
square is black, tap the individual square to de-select it. (Note: You must
draw all the strokes, you cannot enter any of them with the keyboard.}
1. In the Graffiti box, draw the shortcut stroke. The dot starts at the lower
left, go up, around and down like a tall lower case E in script. Graffiti then
displays the shortcut symbol which looks like the "Integral" symbol in
mathematics (an elongated capital S with the tails shortened) This tells you
that you are now in shortcut mode.
2. Draw the stroke for the left curly-bracket ({). (Note: In the instructions
that follow, "tap" indicates that you tap the Graffiti box screen with your
stylus. The Graffiti box will display a dot in the upper left hand corner
indicating the Punctuation Shift is on.)
Tap+e
The left Curly-bracket automatically replaces the shortcut symbol that appeared
earlier. This indicates that you are now defining a shortcut.
3. Draw the Graffiti characters that you want to activate the shortcut. You
can use up to eight characters (letters, number or punctuation), either upper or
lower case. Note that shortcuts are case sensitive. Remember, you must draw
all the strokes, you cannot enter any of them with the keyboard.
4. Draw the stroke to enter a colon (:).
5. Write the text that you want to be entered when you activate the shortcut.
You may include up to 250 characters, upper or lower case. Graffiti will not
perform carriage returns or tabs.
6. Draw the stroke for a right curly-bracket (}).
7. After a moment, the shortcut strokes will disappear and be replaced by the
shortcut you just created, indicating that you shortcut has been successfully
entered. If you shortcut strokes do not disappear and reappear, you shortcut
was not entered successfully. (Note: When creating a new shortcut, keep in
mind that each shortcut name must be unique.)
To use a shortcut, get into an application that accepts shortcut input.
1. Draw the shortcut stroke, the big lower case L, Graffiti then displays the
shortcut symbol.
2. Write the characters that activate the shortcut you want. Graffiti will
then enter the text you want on your screen.
