Text replacement #35705

Closed Vincentbogor closed 2 hours ago

Vincentbogor commented 2 hours ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

It works like text replacement in iOS or Android. A short word or abbreviation that when typed will be replaced by what word is set. For example, /email will be put in the set email address, /name will be replaced by the user's name or the name set by the user, etc.

Scenario when this would be used?

When writing something or filling in a form, having to manually type long words over and over again takes time.

For example, when filling in a form requires you to put in an email address, it might be fine to type it out manually. But having to do it over and over and over again is very time-consuming. Not just forms, emails, documents, chat messages, etc. It just saves time is more efficient overall, reduces errors, and makes consistency.
