Cydia Tweak: KeyShortcut Pro Adds Custom Keys To The Popular Package

May 12, 2014

KeyShortcut Pro, a recently released jailbreak tweak, offers iOS device users an enhanced “pro” version of the popular KeyShortcut package. You can download KeyShortcut Pro for $0.99 on the Cydia Store, and it’s optimized for iOS 7 and ARM64-devices.

As we explained towards the end of April, KeyShortcut usefully turns a selection of iOS keyboard keys into shortcuts for copy, paste, and select all:

Once downloaded and installed, users will find that they’re able to hold down the “c” letter on the iOS keyboard in order to copy text. If, on the other hand, you hold down “v,” this sees iOS paste the contents of the clipboard into the current text field; holding “a” selects all of the text in the current text field, too.

One criticism of the package, however, was that it didn’t offer jailbreakers the ability to customize shortcuts in KeyShortcut. Instead, you had to make do with the developer’s own selection.

Fortunately for users of the package, this has changed with KeyShortcut Pro. Now, users of the $0.99 pro version can set custom keys for copy, cut, paste, select all, undo, and redo. Plus, keywords can also be assigned to the following keys: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, and space.

The pro version of KeyShortcut definitely marks a huge improvement over the original, and $0.99 isn’t a high price to pay for a jailbreak tweak that could prove as useful as this. As mentioned, the revamped package can be downloaded now on the Cydia Store, and it’s optimized for iOS 7 and ARM64-devices.
