Yes, I could do that with autohotkey, and the advantage is that it works on any app.
But this method is not smart enough to decide whether you are closing an open comma, or if it’s an apostrophe etc.
My experience whith the ‘blind’ method is that it becomes a nuisance very soon. This is something the editor itself should know how to do.
The Snippets plug-in in the next major version will include auto-complete feature, and it will become much easier to add new strings. For instance, press { and TAB key to insert }. Of course you can add hundreds of new auto-complete items.
