Make it easier for yourself to fill out forms on iOS
9 years ago from Gustaf Zetterlund, Interface Lead at Ombori
Add a keyboard shortcut for your email adress to your iPhone so pesky forms are easier to fill out.

I find @@ the best shortcut for this

That's a nice one. Whatever floats your boat!

Yep, use this too!

Good tip. I use aaa for my email address. It's slightly easier/quicker than the example you're showing.
I have more than one email addresses that I use regularly so I wanted to remember them as acronyms, but of course that's easier to type :-)

I've been using 'eml' for email and 'nme' for full name
Those are great too, I like all these suggestions :-)

Darn it, why did I not think of this?!
It didn't occur to me until yesterday either, despite the feature having been in iOS for ages so don't feel too bad :D

Took me a few seconds to realise what this was. Then… the A Hah moment!! Clever.

Has anyone noticed that it automatically adds a space after? Some forms don't accept email addresses with the space afterwards. I find it kind of annoying to have to delete the space everytime.

YES. Argh. YES.
Ketan Anjaria, 9 years ago Yes that annoys the crap out of me, but it's bad form on the developer's part. You should be stripping white space on left and right for every form input anyway.

Great tip! Appreciated

To anyone considering the switch... Android already suggests previously-used words (including your email addresses) after typing a few characters ;)
If only they'd let me make one for my password.

Great tip, man. Thanks!
