Hey, guys (gals?), Don't any of you have typing utilities that will fill
in text after you hit a special key-combination? I get print " typed
automatically by holding two modifier keys and hitting 'p' key. Sounds
harder than it is and it's really fast. So if I switch to Python 3 I
would change that to print(" .
E.g. for the Mac there are programs (utilities that run in the
background) like Quickeys and TypeItForMe that allow you to do all sorts
of automatic inserting of commonly used text. They're cheap and easy to
use. There must be something like this for Linux and Windows, no?
