RNS:: TopShortCuts

Sometimes you need to write a lot of repetitive information on your Palm device. For example, you may be writing your company name quite often, or you may be finishing every document with the same signature.

With ShortCuts you can define these texts once, and then insert them with a single command anywhere you want.

Unfortunately this important Palm OS functionality is hard to use on the Treo and Centro devices... unless you have TopShortCuts!

What RNS:: TopShortCuts does is insert the special (ShortCut) character. Depending on your preferences, this can be achieved with any of the following key combinations:

Alt press-and-hold dot press-and-hold S press-and-hold

The configuration screen of RNS:: TopShortCuts is available as a separate panel (labeled "RNS:: TSC") in the Palm OS "Prefs" application.

Please read below to learn how to make use of the character...

Before you can use shortcuts, you have to configure them. To do so, use the standard "ShortCuts" panel in the Palm OS "Prefs" application.

You may add, modify, and remove your shortcut definitions in this panel. Several shortcuts have been pre-defined for you.

On the devices that normally don't have the "ShortCuts" panel, it is automatically activated with the RNS:: TopShortCuts installation.

To apply a shortcut, insert the character followed by a defined shortcut text. For example, typing br will result in inserting the Breakfast text.

That's it!
