📝 Provide a description of the new feature

What if I write asap and automatically the word is replaced by "as soon as possible" ?
There are lots of programs that can do it but most of them are not free and they have lots of useless features and they are resources-hungry.
It's not implemented natively on windows but this is a very very very important feature to save time and correct typing errors.

I got this idea from Text Replacement in Ios, which is basilar but efficient.

If you'd like to see this feature implemented, add a 👍 reaction to this post.

You should try autohotkey (https://www.autohotkey.com/), it can do exactly what you want, it's free and quite easy to use. For your example, you would only need this little code :

::asap::
clipboard = as soon as possible
Send ^v
Sleep, 50
return`

I use it all the time and can do a lot more.

For an average person it's difficult to use. A tool everyone can ease pc usage with would be nice.
