I do realise it now that it's missing it's usage. It's a simple keyboard macro which supports all printable characters for triggers and everything for expansions. It sends native key presses if all the expansion are printable characters. If not, it uses clipboard and sends `Ctrl+V`

I'm used to user-facing macros (as opposed to say a Lisp macro) being scripts triggered by a keyboard shortcut, so the terminology was confusing to me. Calling this "text expansion" or "text substitution" would have made immediate sense.
Thanks! I think maybe not everyone understands exactly what a "keyboard macro" is, that you type something and it fills out predefined text. At least judging by some comments here :)
I think more people know what a keylogger is and are confused by that.
