Text Tools

make your own custom text effects, save them, use them anytime you like

Description

**IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you've used the shortcut before the 1.3 update, you have to reset the Fonts and ASCII files from the menu otherwise you'll get an error**

**new** I've made two helper shortcuts to help you change the default fonts and ascii clipboard to whatever you like.

Text Tools - Ascii

Text Tools - Fonts

Update Notes:

Version 1.4

New Features:

- Added Upside Down font

- Added Zalgo and Reverse text effects

- You can now reset the Font and ASCII files from the menu

- Several QoL additions to the menu navigation

----------------

Version 1.3

New Features:

- Add, edit, remove your custom fonts!

Bug Fixes:

- UpdateKit wasn't working because of a bug, will be working now.

This shortcut has two parts:

ASCII Clipboard

Have all the emotes, custom texts, copypasta or whatever text you like one tap away.

Text Editor

A simple tool to add custom effects to whatever text you like

Features:

hey, can I possibly use this in my Ultimate Control Centre shortcut? I would credit you, of course. Here's [https://routinehub.co/shortcut/2096] the shortcut I would like to put it in.

Sure thing. Just keep in mind that I may change the code structure and/or add new features in the near future.

Hey, Awesome shortcut. Quick question about adding a custom font. I tried adding it and I get the two rows thing but I am not sure how to get the new font in the text box. It keeps wanting to past it as the standard system font.

okay the thing is, it's not an actual font but actually it's using different unicode characters and replacing the normal characters with those. So technically you can't add a "font" but rather you define what unicode characters to replace the old ones.

Would you be willing to update this shortcut so it can be used as part of a share sheet action? I.E. if I write some text in an app, highlight it and then select “Share” in the black pill menu (where Copy, Cut, Lookup are), and feed that selected text into the shortcut? I’m sure I can do it locally, but would make more sense to have the master shortcut incorporate it for all :)

have you been using the shortcut for long? As I've put a notice at the top of the post, if you've updated the shortcut from before the 1.3 update, you need to reset the font and ascii files from the menu or the shortcut won't work. Now if that's the case and you don't want to lose your custom fonts/ascii, I could maybe try and manually update the file structure for you.

Yes, I use him since many weeks, it‘s cool. Please check the YT link, I‘ve uploated a short vid. I cant tell you more :D There is also no way to go to the menu. The Issue is, when UpdateKit checks for a new version.

I'll do some more testing. Gimme a little time.

@SinaKamali Author

can you please turn on the "Show While Running" option where the app gets stuck and tell me where exactly it gets stuck after you run it?

@SinaKamali Author

I also suggest you try downloading UpdateKit again. My other guess would be that there's a problem with your internet connection. Try running the shortcut with WiFi/Cellular data off.

I already sent you a video where you see it. I have, of course, tried all the options I thought of. If I have time later, I'll reinstall the full shortcuts app, maybe that helps.

Hey I was using your code and I have a proposition to make and a recommendation! 1) add an instruction sheet thing on the short cut, maybe just copy-paste what’s here. 2)I have a shortcut that contains loads of emoticons, I saw your collection was quite slim, I’d like to send you a fair chunk of them 3)can I use this for a shortcut I just posted? (Spam text ultra). You will be credited, and conveniently I’m working on a something that will notify you of comments

If I understand this correctly, you want me to write some instructions on how to add emotes to the shortcut right? Sure I’ll try to explain it. Feel free to use the shortcut or the code however you like.

I’m sorry about the confusion I did it in a rush. I was offering to send you more emoticons. I figure people would enjoy it.

@SinaKamali Author

well I’m gonna publish 2 helper shortcuts to change the default fonts and ascii clipboard so you use that too. You can send me a link to the list of emotes you want me to add in here as well and I’ll add them before I push the update to Text Tools.

It’s more than 500 characters so. This may take some time, but I’ll make a shortcut that contains them all
