Short Key - Design Keyboard

Short Key - Design Keyboard is a customizable keyboard app that lets you type faster by creating your own shortcut keys and text snippets. Stop retyping the same words, phrases, and symbols—build a personal library of instant-access shortcuts tailored to how you actually communicate.

Add unlimited custom shortcut keys with text, emojis, symbols, or formatting commands. Include frequently used hashtags, email signatures, common replies, or Unicode text art like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The app stores everything locally, so your shortcuts are always available when you need them most.

Switch between this keyboard and your default input method seamlessly while typing—no interruption to your flow. Choose from multiple material design color themes to match your device's look and feel. Text formatting shortcuts for bold and italic text are built in, and advanced copy-paste commands let you chain actions together for even faster input.

Setup takes seconds. Open Settings, navigate to Language & Input, enable Short Key Keyboard, and select it as your current input method. You can also use your device's keyboard selector to switch on the fly.

Whether you're answering repetitive support messages, posting on social media, filling out forms, or just typing long phrases frequently, this app cuts down on manual effort and keystroke fatigue. Short Key - Design Keyboard is free to use, with no ads or hidden charges.
