Promptinator Input Cheat‑Sheet

One letter = one control.
Swap A ↔ B ↔ C ↔ D or drop the letter entirely to morph from textarea → radio → checkboxes → dropdown → plain input — in seconds, no JS skills needed.

📝 Plain Text Input

Skip the letter entirely and you get a single‑line field. Great for names, emails, short titles.

Name: [-name-~Jane Doe~]
Name: [-name-~Jane Doe~]

📄 Multiline Textarea (A)

Use [A‑label‑~default~] for longer answers or descriptions.

Story: [A-story-~Tell us everything…~]
Story: [A-story-~Tell us everything…~]

🔘 Radio Buttons (B)

One choice only. Separate options with |; flag a default with ~.

Priority: [B-pri-|Low|Medium|High|~Medium~]
Priority: [B-pri-|Low|Medium|High|~Medium~]

☑️ Checkbox Group (C)

Let users tick multiple items. Works exactly like B—just change the letter.

Swap numbers for text options to turn it into a select menu.

📧 / 📤 Smart Submit (E)
