![]() I’m not talking about the TextExpander keyboard for iOS, which works but is a bit clumsy, I’m talking about native support within the app with the normal onscreen or external keyboard, just like on macOS. It’s glorious, but only if you can figure out how to enable it. Oddly, this feature does not appear to be very well documented, either from the TextExpander side or from the Ulysses side, and you need to do things in both apps to enable this capability. The initial setup on the TextExpander side is documented in a support article called TextExpander-Enhanced Apps for iOS (74 and counting…) Gear Only Visible with Groups Tab Selected No Gear Visible with Notes Tab Selected I find myself wasting a great deal of time trying to figure out how to get it to work, so I decided to write it up for myself and share it with everyone else. The purpose of the article is to tell you how to flip a switch to allow TextExpander to share snippets with TextExpander-enhanced apps, one of which is Ulysses.īut even this article doesn’t really give you the step-by-step process. It says “Under TextExpander’s Settings” as the first step, but where is that? It’s not in the Mac app and it’s not in Settings on iOS. ![]() You have to open the TextExpander app on your iOS device to find the settings they’re talking about. When you first open the TextExpander app on your iPhone or iPad, there are two tabs at the top. If the app opens to the Notes tab for you as it does sometimes for me, you won’t be able to find the Settings menu. ![]() If you switch to the Groups tab, only then will you see a gear in the bottom left for Settings. Finding Settings for TextExpander in Ulysses The WRONG Settings Icon in Ulysses Once you’re in Settings, then you can see the section for TextExpander-enhanced apps and you can finally toggle on Share Snippets. Now we have to uncover the hidden secret of enabling snippet syncing inside Ulysses. ![]() If you’ve been around for a bit, you know that enabling features is done through some sort of settings screen. Ulysses makes finding settings a bit of an adventure. You might understandably be fooled by the gear in the upper right on the Library view, but you can dig into that menu as long as you want and you won’t find the settings to enable TextExpander snippet expansion. #DOES TYPINATOR WORK ON AN IPAD HOW TO#. ![]()
