Auto-correct for common tpyos...

[Stevefb]

Loving the new auto correct feature - hats off.

Sometimes I accidentally type: If true them when I really mean: If true then. Anyway, I just thought I had one of those moments and thought I saw Rubberduck auto-magically change them to Then when I pressed enter.

But Rubberduck didn't change anything so apparently I didn't make a typo (screen flicker?) but, all the same I thought it would be a nice addition :-)

Not sure how realistic this is, but thought it might be worth mentioning. Some of my common typos:

• Them instead of Then
• End It instead of End If
• Dowhile instead of Do While
• selecion instead of Selection

Or, perhaps a custom typo dictionary could be added... hmmm...

I have symptoms of selective lysdexia and often type VyBal instead of ByVal...

I believe that there are discussions of code snippets/short-cuts that could be repurposed for this if one were allowed to define ones own snippets.

@daFreeMan Agreed. I've been using MZ Tools Code Library with expansion shortcut it works well - when I remember to use it. Was also trying to learn C# so played in VS for a while and thought I'd gone bat s..t crazy when I returned to VBA to discover auto-correct... Hopefully RD could bring something similar but without having to press the expansion shortcut... (just pressing SPACE &/or ENTER would be awesome).

The AC behavior I'm thinking of for this will be the same as for block completion: the handler will select the entire "trigger word", and capture the next keypress - if it's {TAB} or {ENTER} (as per preferences/settings), autocorrect takes over; if it's any other key, selection is repositioned immediately after the "trigger word", and the keypress goes through.
