Personal dictionary with Samsung Keyboard

[TimSuds]

What purpose does the personal dictionary serve on the default Samsung keyboard?

I was hoping it would allow you to setup user shortcuts like some of the aftermarket keyboard apps do.

For example, if i type tx it would enter Thank you,

I entered several of these shortcuts into the personal dictionary but they don't seem to work.

Can this be done with the default keyboard?

Thanks

I just purchased the Galaxy S4 and I am using the default keyboard and encountering the same problem. Anyone discover a fix for this?

i don't think the personal dictionary are "shortcuts". i think they're just literally a dictionary for additional words you use so they can recommend it or allow it to pass through without a typo. Example would be you always signoff with a friend as "TY". It may mean anything "thank you", "Ted Yearly"...etc etc. So if you add "TY" to the dicationary, the keyboard won't think it's a typo.

update, it is working but not the way I would like when I type in my shortcut u-you (you) is one of the pop up recommended words. I then must select the word you on it will still be u in my sentence

If you want a keyboard that supports shortcuts, check SlideIT.
