Hi all,
This thread had been dead for a while,
and still there is no solution for the suggested feature of using keyboard short words for auto replace (like bb = byebye, signit = <your signiture> etc).
It would be really cool if there was one.

GeraldKo found this:

Which is a way to simulate keyboard input. That's half a solution.
Another half should be being able to log keyboard last strokes and replace them.

The given brainstorm died for some reason as well.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could give his his ideas of how to implement this.

I don't know much about deep maemo kernel, but maybe if it is easier to implement on the virtual keyboard, it would be great.
Another option is to use the shortcuts on the top menu for some, but currently they connect only installed apps.

Thanks,

NBD
