Hey, you! DSi user! Are you questioned why you still use a DSi in 2019 every day? Are you held back in your content creation because you can only type up to 2000 characters? Well, this (may) (sorta) (sometimes) be your free solution!

Here's a bit of history. A while back, I had an idea. If JavaScript can change values, can it change text? I proceeded to research W3Schools and various other sites, and after many weeks, I came up with a complete, short code that can be memorized.

Now, onto the code itself. This is the pasting code, which, like Chatroom Dark Mode, relies on Favorites.

To start writing the code, go to Favorites (the star icon) and hit Add Page. Then, go to Edit, select the lower textbox (holding the URL) and clear it. After that, input the following code (without the underscore):

Java_Script:document.getElementById("body".value+="Test text!";document.close()

Now, the colored parts are variables. Blue is the ID of where the text goes. For some parts of the site, such as PM's and the blog composer, it's body. txtPost is used in chatrooms, and shout_text is used in groups. I'm not sure about other textboxes, and not all of them have IDs. To find an ID, use inspect element on a PC.

The green text is what you're pasting into the textbox. Almost anything can go in, but if you're going to use quotes, I recommend using left and right quotes (“ ”), found on the symbols keyboard. If you need to use ", replace the quotes surrounding the paste text with ''s, but that may infere with other your paste text as well. If you have a solution to this, let me know!

To make newlines/linebreaks (or as you may know them, pressing the enter key), type "\n". They will be automatically changed into newlines upon being pasted. Don't worry about them touching your text, it won't cause problems.

Once done, save and go to a page where you can paste text. To do so, go to Favorites and go to the favorite that you just made. If done correctly, the text will show up in the textbox, even if you've already hit 2000 characters in it!

Keep in mind that the favorite has a text limit of its own, even smaller than other textboxes. It has a limit of 1024 characters, and subtracting the amount needed for the code, that leaves you with a little under [u]960 characters to work with.

Although, not only does this allow you to paste and write longer blogs, it's also useful for writing when you have no Internet conection, or during site downtime, as it's all stored on your DSi's internal memory.

If you don't use Favorites much at all, you could theoretically write up to ~61,100 characters!

Now, for copying. This method of copying is quite inferior, in that it cannot copy BBCode, and it cannot copy newlines/line breaks correctly. It can also essentially only copy text that's meant to be copied.

To setup for text to be copied, put the text into the anchor ([a]) BBCode. Then, the user that intends to copy the text clicks it, gets a 404, then adds it to Favorites. Then, he/she removes the URL section of it, and builds the script that I explained earlier around it, with the intention of pasting it later. Then, if all is correct, it can be pasted.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know! I hope this was of use to the DSi users in this community!

(And yes, the paste script was used in the making of this blog.)
