![]() ![]() the new Prompt UI for placeholder support, other Action steps/variables à la Editorial’s workflow scripting. Allow text expansions to call upon Drafts’ integrated JS scripting environment, enabling powers that go far beyond what is currently possible on iOS with TextExpander’s JavaScript support.This would have all the usual benefits of existing text expansion apps on iOS/macOS (no context-switching, no cluttering of the UI, mnemonics to aid recall, etc.) with the addition of some extra Drafts-specfic benefits: If an abbreviation could be assigned to an Action so that it was triggered when typed (on either on-screen or hardware keyboards), then a far greater number of Actions could be accessible seamlessly within the act of inputting text. D5 has widened this power by integrating the full Actions architecture into each ‘key’ of what can now be several different extended keyboards, but the number of actions that can be accessed this way is still limited by screen size and the need to manually switch between (or scroll) layouts.ĭrafts has had the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to Actions for a while, but only for hardware keyboards (and these are for single-key triggers only). Current situationĪt present the easiest way to trigger actions while typing (via the on-screen keyboard) is by including them an ‘extended keyboard’. As a pro feature this would also help a D5 subscription to become a complete text editing environment that would reduce dependency on other apps/services (namely Editorial and TextExpander), and as an integrated solution it would probably surpass them anyway. In line with Drafts’ mission to be the fastest/easiest way to capture and act on your text, I think that the ability to trigger Actions by typing an abbreviated ‘shortcut’ string would make both text input and text processing even more seamless. Usually commercial software or games are produced for sale or to serve a commercial purpose.Tl dr - Can the Keyboard Shortcut for Actions be extended to allow for strings of typed text as the trigger? Native text expansions harnessing the Actions scripting environment would be a compelling Pro feature. Even though, most trial software products are only time-limited some also have feature limitations. After that trial period (usually 15 to 90 days) the user can decide whether to buy the software or not. Trial software allows the user to evaluate the software for a limited amount of time. Demos are usually not time-limited (like Trial software) but the functionality is limited. In some cases, all the functionality is disabled until the license is purchased. Demoĭemo programs have a limited functionality for free, but charge for an advanced set of features or for the removal of advertisements from the program's interfaces. In some cases, ads may be show to the users.
