O.P. Problem with "Quick Texts"
Hi people!

I do a query, I have configured several "quick texts" eg: "u" = "you" and a major problem arises when I send links as these tend to be modified being unusable, is there a "escape" command to avoid these modifications?

Cheers!

If you type /text infront of the message Messenger Plus! will not parse the message. Emotions will not be parsed either.

Also, for "u" to change to "you", I would recommend using " u " = " you " (Notice the spaces)

So the sentence "Would u like to go out somewhere" would work fine for you and it would also be fine with URLs (links)

No.

The Quick Texts do not allow for escape characters or regular expressions. If you want anything more fancy than literal word by word replacement, you need to create a script. Or use alternatives like matty and Spunky suggested.
