Take the 2-minute tour ×  I know that Autokey has the
functionality to create text macros, but I found it very buggy,
and there are no new releases coming out. (IronAHK looks to be
an excellent alternative, but it isn't actually available yet.)
So I'd like to do the following myself: map control-L to this
(yes, just type a bunch of dashes - I'm starting simple) -   Can
I do this via the Keyboard Shortcuts? Would an .sh script work
best? And if so, can you point me in the right direction for
learning how to create that kind of .sh script?  If this is a
silly solution, is there an alternative program that would allow
me to map text macros?  Thanks so much.  share|improve this
question  1 Answer 1  I know of 2 others: xmacro! Package Can
not find a screenshot of this one :+) xnee Package   But as with
autokey... both have their quirks too.  edit: On rereading your
q: these to are to create macros but autokey seems to use python
scripts. So my answer might not be correct.  share|improve this
