text replacement
Changing written content
Text replacement is the automatic substitution of one string of characters for another.
Operating systems and apps use it to expand shortcuts into longer phrases: typing "omw" might produce "On my way!" It also powers autocorrect, fixing typos as you type.
I set up a text replacement so typing "addr" fills in my full address.
