Text Editing shortcuts
Shortcuts for interacting with the written word like you would in a text editor.
Use these shortcuts to insert text replacements in any block of text, perform a spellcheck, or define words using the system dictionary.
Also includes a shortcut for turning images into text strings that can be decoded back into the image later.
Special characters
Contains a dictionary of names and symbols that, when passed into Choose From List, becomes selectable – for whichever option is chosen, the corresponding symbol will be passed out and copied to the clipboard.
Spell check
Corrects the spelling of the text shared as input or from your clipboard, then presents it a prompt to confirm before copying.
Find and replace
Prompts you to pick replacement text and which words to be replaced, then finds it and swaps it out for your choice.
Remove empty lines
Uses a regular expressions to automatically get rid of new lines that don’t have any text in them.
Add list elements
Takes text, splits it by new lines, and adds an asterisk and a space before each for pasting as a list in Markdown-compatible apps.
Remove list elements
Scrapes out any list elements like dashes, asterisks, or double brackets so you’re left with only new lines of text.
Change text case
Takes the input from the Share sheet or clipboard, lets you choose from UPPERCASE, lowercase, Capitalizing Every Word, swapping to Title Case, or swapping to Sentence case, and copies it to your clipboard.
NATO Alphabet
Asks for text, then converts it to the NATO Alphabet to read out “Apple” like “Alfa Papa Papa Lima Echo.”
