iOS keyboard text replacement questions regarding the space at the end and advanced usage.

[Guest /u/Organic_Lifeguard378]

I have a few questions about text replacement in iOS.

 

First, when I type my shortcut, I can get it to be entered by either tapping the spacebar or tapping the suggestion above the keyboard. Either way, it puts a space at the end. Is there a way to NOT have this space?

 

Because I use it to populate my email address, and some form fields don’t accept the extra space after my email when logging in. So I always have to backspace after entering my shortcut.

 

Second question: I want to be able to finish a word without spaces in it where the end of the word is a shortcut phrase. Say my phrase is “@emaildomain.com” and my shortcut is “eml”. I want to be able to type “nameeml” and have it enter “name@emaildomain.com” (without a space before the @ and without a space at the end).

 

Are either of these possible? I’m migrating from a system where I used the same email everywhere to a system where I use a unique email alias for each online account, like “amazon@emaildomain.com”, “netflix@emaildomain.com”. So I can no longer have a single shortcut that is my complete email address. Rather the shortcut will start with the at symbol.
