[Xbindkeys-devel] Feature idea

Hi there,

I have an idea for two new features.
The short version: 
1) keywords and 2) templates.

The longer version:
1) keywords
xbindkeys could catch a sequence of keystrokes and do things then.
example:
typing #hi (and a trailing space) could trigger an event instead of just 
pressing two keys at once.

2) templates
Sending multiple keystrokes from a trigger could be very useful.
This would turn macros like 
#wkg,
into
with kindly regards,
John Doe
Sales Manager
Foo
blah
etc.

Both features together could ease up forms, testing, emails and so on.

I hope this is helpful for you.

With kindly regards, 
Jan
