Not sure how many people know this little trick, but it's what I use for typing events quickly in the forums for examples and such. This works for IPhone 4s, and presumably IPad and Itouch as well.
Go into settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Add new shortcut
Then follow the instructions that they give you.
This way, you could set it so that when you type "activate", it changes it to [onactivate], which is a good way of writing events on the forums. This is how I write events fast, and I hope you all enjoy this method as well.
