The basics: what a shortcut does, how to undo, and how to make shortcuts you’ll actually remember.
SpeedKee shortcuts can do two main things:
A destination can be an app, website, document, map, video, product page, photo link, or other shareable URL-style link.
Before exploring faster triggers, it helps to know how to undo and pause shortcuts.
If a shortcut expands by mistake, long-press 7 for Undo.
The 7 key sits above U, so 7 can remind you of Undo.
To temporarily stop expansions, long-press 0 for Pause.
The 0 key sits above P, so 0 can remind you of Pause.
Press Pause again to turn expansions back on.
A shortcut should not feel like a random code. A good shortcut gives you a clue.
The capital letters and markers below are examples, not rules. Use whatever letters, symbols, or patterns are easiest for you to remember.
The basic way a shortcut fires: type the shortcut, then press Space.
The small side space keys are real Space keys too. You can use any of them to complete a shortcut, whichever is easiest to reach.
Space works for every shortcut. Once you’re comfortable, faster triggers are available — but Space alone is enough to get started.
$$If you want a shortcut to expand instantly — no Space needed — add $$ to the end when you create it.
You only add $$ once, when creating the shortcut. You do not type it every time.
Create the shortcut as:
Then just typing ty expands instantly:
SpeedKee can also open apps, websites, and links — not just type text. And there are faster triggers (swipe, double-tap, and more) once you’re ready.
These come later. For now, Space is all you need.
Start with Space. It is the simplest trigger and works well for learning.
Keep Undo and Pause in mind. If something fires by mistake, you can recover quickly.
Use memory clues. Build shortcuts around patterns that are easy for you to remember.
