Graffiti 2 ShortCuts
Graffiti 2 ShortCuts make entering commonly used words or phrases quick and
easy. ShortCuts are similar to the Glossary or Autotext features of some word
processors.
Graffiti 2 writing comes with several predefined ShortCuts, and you can also create
your own. Each ShortCut can represent up to 45 characters. For example, you
might create a ShortCut for your name or for the header of a memo. See “ShortCuts
preferences” in Chapter 18 to learn about creating ShortCuts.
To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke followed by the ShortCut characters.
The ShortCut symbol appears at the insertion point to show that you are in
ShortCut mode.
Your handheld includes the predefined Graffiti 2 ShortCuts shown in the following
table.
