PowerShell script for tab completion
In Word or Eclipse, as an example, it has an option to "auto-correct" a custom phrase like sysout into System.out.println("");. However, is there a script I could use to have this same function while typing in any other program?
For example, if I type mcC and press space, or hold Alt down while typing mcC, I would like the mcC to be replaced with:
W)
X)
Y)
Z)
(The script doesn't have to be in PowerShell; it was the only language I could think of that might be able to implement this.)

that is what AutoHotKey and AutoIT are about. [grin] they both have fairly active forums and are pretty easy to start off with. for instance, the[*grin*]i post so often is an AutoHotKey macro.

This article is a self-rolled idea of what sounds like AutoIT and similar tools do, if you wanted a pure PS way to do it: blogs.technet.microsoft.com/lukeb/2017/07/12/… Might be able to combine it with this: johnmj.wordpress.com/2010/11/11/sharepoint-2010-and-localhost-2
