I would like to define "typing shortcuts".

For example, I can define "##" as "#PB_Any", so in editor if I type "##" after presing space or comma or tab, it will be changed to "#PB_Any"

or perhaps I can type #o for "=OpenFile(#PB_Any,"

(In my iPhone I have defined "@a" to "ampostata@gmail.com" so I have not to type it everytime full)

(Or perhaps I am wrong and it can be done currently...)

+1, and for anything we specify. For example, so I could type '' (two apostrophes) and the IDE would insert Chr(34). And no, not interested in macros for this because macros don't work for everything, plus they need to be inserted in every source at some point. So just a simple, straight-forward, IDE auto-complete.

Try LazyCoder (Windows only)

Or TyperTask

One can perhaps write an IDE Tool for this as well?

I'd like it built-in so no tools or third-party solutions are needed.
