<h2 dir="auto">allow to assign shortcut or key to a string</h2>
<p dir="auto">It would be nice to improve keyboard manager to allow us to assign a shortcut/key to a string.</p>
<p dir="auto">An exemple of problem it can solve : for markdown stuff, we have to use often tree backticks. It's not a problem on english qwerty keyboard, but for french azerty keyboard (and probably other non english keyboards), it's a real pain.</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>We have to use [ALT GR] + [7] + then [space] ton generate a single backtick.</li>
<li>We have to use [ALT GR] + [7] +[ALTR GR] + [7] +[ALTR GR] + [7] + then [space] to generate three backticks.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">So we could for example use [CTRL] + [7] to generate 3 backticks. And if I always write "Regards," at the end of my email, I could assign [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[R] to the string "Regards," and save time.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think that it's a simple way of working and can help in various situations and not only help frenchies developers with the three backticks markdown stuffs :-)</p>

<p dir="auto">I would like to use Keyboard Manager to map some shortcuts to keys that currently are accessible only from the "Windows Character Map" application. Specifically I would like to map <code class="notranslate">AltGr + '</code> to <code class="notranslate">`</code> and <code class="notranslate">AltGr + ì</code> to <code class="notranslate">~</code>.<br>
I know that the Keyboard Manager enables only to map to keyboard keys, but allowing also custom characters would be such a great feature for a programmer.</p>
