Graffiti ShortCuts
Graffiti 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 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 17 to learn about creating your own ShortCuts.
To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke followed by the ShortCut characters.
When you draw the ShortCut stroke, the ShortCut symbol appears at the insertion
point to show that you are in ShortCut mode.
Your handheld includes the following predefined Graffiti ShortCuts:
