Autoreplacement or «Catalog» function

[BsNoSi]

I am using CuteMarkED quite consistent to get used to all possibilities. In my daily work, I have the challenge to use several special codings or text standards quite often. For this opportunity it would be a nice support, if the editor would look in a replacement list of words beginning (for example) with a "." As an example this would change .kbd → <kbd>|</kbd>, where "|" is the new cursor position.

As good as an automatic replacement a user maintained „catalog» could help a lot. This is a shortcut, perhaps ALT SPACE, that opens a list beyond the cursor. Typing autoselects best matching option, enter puts it into the text and closes the «catalog».

The catalog (as well as the autoreplacement) itself can be a simple txt (or md)-file, organized in lines with two options:

br : Best Regards|
kbd : <kbd>|</kbd>
1 : This is simply a text that replaces »1« and moves the cursor at the end|
2: |same as »1« but cursor at the beginning of the inserted text

First entry is the name for finding the desired replacement text, everythin behind ":" , expept leading blanks is inserted, if a special symbol, in this case "|" is part of it, the cursor is placed there, otherwise behind the inserted text (which means, that sample "1" or "br" are standard condition, where no | is required).
