The extended keyboard for the Replacement Text parameter contains an additional button to set the selection within the inserted text. When you tap it, a special placeholder is inserted that marks the caret position. You can also mark an entire range to be selected after insertion – simply select it before tapping the button. This can be useful if you want to insert text that you might want to overwrite immediately.

  • Input: Can be used as a variable in the Replacement Text parameter
  • Output: The replacement text

Parameters

  • Replacement Text: The text that the selection should be replaced with. If the selection is empty, the text is inserted at the position of the caret.
