How do I save shortcuts for lines I use often?

Shortcuts are lines you write again and again, saved once and added to your action from the @ menu. A greeting your character always uses, a "stay in character" note, a full paragraph of setup: anything you'd otherwise retype.

Shortcuts are a perk. They come with every subscription, and you keep them for good once you reach $50 in credit packs.

Using a shortcut

In the action box (or the steering box), type @ or tap the @ button under it.
Open Shortcuts, or keep typing a shortcut's name to find it straight away (@look finds "Look around").
Pick it. Its text goes into the box exactly as you saved it, line breaks included, in place of the @. Edit it if you like, then send.

Shortcuts saved for the journey you're in come first in the list, marked This journey.

Saving a shortcut

The quickest way is from the action box itself:

Write the line you want to keep.
Type @ at the end, open Shortcuts and pick Save what you wrote as a shortcut.
Check the name (it starts from your first words), then choose where it's available:
- All journeys: it shows up in every journey you play.
- This journey only: it stays in this journey, and goes away if the journey is deleted.
Save. What you wrote stays in the box, so you can still send it.

With an empty box, the same spot offers New shortcut instead.

Managing your shortcuts

There are two places to see, edit and delete them:

In a journey: open Settings, then More, and find Shortcuts under Input. It lists this journey's shortcuts and your shortcuts for all journeys. Manage shortcuts in the @ menu opens the same list.
In your account settings: Settings > Play > Shortcuts lists your shortcuts for all journeys. Shortcuts for a single journey are only managed from that journey.

Each shortcut has a pencil to edit its name and text, and a bin to delete it. A shortcut keeps the place you saved it for: to move one, save a copy where you want it and delete the old one.

Limits

Up to 50 shortcuts for all journeys, plus 20 for each journey.
A name is up to 40 characters, and a shortcut's text up to 1,000.

If your perk ends

Nothing is deleted. You can still insert your shortcuts and delete them, but editing them or saving new ones waits until you subscribe again or reach $50 in credit packs.
