Hello, Do I understand correctly and now aliases can not contain new lines? I had a whole text with paragraphs that would expand with a defined alias. Any way to still do this now?

Hi Ioana. It should work just the same shouldn't it? What I did was go to the legacy MBraille application, hope and it's alias file, copied it to my clipboard, open the new MBraille app, open it's alias file, and pasted it in their after what was already present. But I didn't have any multi-line alias to test. Hope it works.

Hi Ioana, No, newlines should work, and do work for me. In the example alias.mb file there is one defined in the end, as follows: MYSIG: Charlie Brown Lucky Street 8, 00100 Happytown Finland tel. +358 9 1234 5678 :end When I type MYSIG (all caps), it gets replaced with 5 lines: Charlie Brown Lucky Street 8, 00100 Happytown Finland tel. +358 9 1234 5678 Best regards, Harri On Sunday, February 15th, 2026 at 9:21 PM, Ioana Gandrabur via MBraille-Test <mbraille-test@lists.mpaja.com> wrote:

I tried replacing my alias.mb file into the beta app folder. Typing the multi line alias also added the \n in the text. Also, in the new documentation, there is no more mention of the multiline alias. Will keep experimenting. Let me know if you'd like screen recording or other documentation.

Also, I guess there is no more way to create alias from within the editor? Only by opening the file and manually adding the aliases in the .mb file? Best, Ioana Sent from my iPhone

Hi, Yes, at least for the time being aliases can only be created by editing the alias.mb file. As soon as that file is saved, the aliases are updated from the file. Also, if mbraille does a cold start, it will read the alias.mb file when starting up. So if you've modified alias.mb in cloud storage, it should download it and load it when starting. I need to double check if the manual cloud sync from settings also initializes the aliases again if those have been edited...
