I've not seen an app like this in Maemo 4, but it sounds like a good idea. Maybe one way to get this to work system wide would be to hook into the word prediction feature.

Currently, there is text completion (e.g., if you type "wh" it asks if you want "what," etc.) and auto-capitalization. I have not seen anything that does what you're describing (which is cool).

why I do feel like the title should be "Request: Auto-replace SMS function/app".
What I understand you want is a program (Or more of addon) to autoreplace a text with ones you feed it with.
Seriously, I also like this idea (practical).
A text like:
"3d imgs r exptd jmp frm movs theatrs into livin rooms by nxt yr." - I know most people won't write like that with QWERT
Into something more professional
"3-D images are expected jump from movie theaters into living rooms by next year."- some CNN copy/paste

It is really practical. I type w+e+l (can't do it now cuz I'm on my BlackBerry. Otherwise it'll change it to: we'll) haha. And stuff like "putmail" and it puts my email address. It's very practical.
I'm not home. I'm on my cell phone. When I get home I'll add it to the brainstorming page.
I would really love this addon. It's really practical and totally saves me a ton of time on typing common words.

Let me know if you need further help.

heh
its a macro replacer
we could have lots of interesting uses with that tbh
it would need configuration dialogs and storage
where would the replacements be expected, only in text messaging or other places?
would you want the same ones in each app?
"xx" in text messaging to "love you, (k)" would be nice for text messaging
but not practical in a word processor lol
other considerations, do you recursively expand the contents, do you automatically expand over 1/2/3 message boundaries?
sounds nice and doesn't sound like it would be too hard to code in somewhere when we find the source

I have a question. I'm a BlackBerry user since 4 years ago and I love the phone os. It's old, aged, and can't do anything. But you gotta love the push system that they've implemented. anyways. On the BlackBerry os there is a feature called "autotext."
Autotext is an app built in that regonizes predetermined/defined sequences and replaces with another as you type. For example. I have madrid to Madrid. Usa to USA. And "putsig" to put my contact information. And about 800 other things such as. xd to xD for a smiley. So on and so on. Is there any app or feature similar to this in the maemo OS?
I'm so excited. And this would def make my day to hear that there is something similar to it in maemo
Thanks
Kent.
