This may be related to PlainText's TextExpander integration, but the
new text expansion shortcuts in iOS 5 don't work in PlainText.

Steps to recreate:
1. Set up a new shortcut in Settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts
2. Type the shortcut in Notes, Mail, Simplenote, or most other apps.
It works.
3. Type the shortcut in PlainText. It doesn't work.

Standard autocorrect works in PlainText, though.

Thanks!

Confirmed and put on the bug list! A bit of a shame we didn't catch this sooner, since PlainText 1.5.2 is currently in App Store review.

Awesome. Thanks for being so responsive! PlainText is definitely one
of my top apps!

+1 for this!
I have a lot of snippets for Reminders app, it'd be nice to use them in PlainText.

Love the app, it's so easy to use with Dropbox. :)
