Could you please expose Autoreplace list(s) and loading/unloading to plugin functionality.
I have recently started to create my own shortcuts for database tables. For example:

[b]ms

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

better yet, could you make a callback when particular defined shortcut would be "hit" and give me the possibility to modify content before insertion in window (char*).

I could make my own logic then, besides I think this would be easier for you to implement.

Kind Regards,
Matjaz
