System Preferences > Keyboard > Text

I have a "Text Substitutions.plist" plist file full of shortcut to load and nothing happens (except for the box lights up and green + sign lights up) but none of the shortcuts load up.


Import text replacements

  1. On the Mac where you want to import the text replacements, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Keyboard , then click Text.
  2. If you’re working in an app, you can also choose Edit > Substitutions > Show Substitutions, then click Text Preferences.
  3. Drag the Text Substitutions.plist file from its location to the Text pane.

Good afternoon M-T-Bfun,


It sounds like you are trying to import a .plist file into System Preferences. It might be helpful for you to speak with an AppleCare technical advisor about this. Click the link below, choose the phone number for your region from the list, and call when it is convenient.
