Description of the new feature / enhancement

As said in the title, it would add custom autocorrect for phrases. It would work whenever you type a certain string. That certain string would become a different string. It would be in a list, about the same as the shortcut remapper. One example is if you type "omw", it would become "On my way". The user could also add some sort of prefix to add clarity between typing out the string you want to autocorrect (some prefixes include !string, :string:, and way more.

Scenario when this would be used?

If you have a long phrase that you want to be able to type faster, autocorrect will be the only solution. Power users would enjoy this because since they want to get the most done out of a day, this would make it easier to get more things done. In the long run, this would save a ton of time for power users. This feature is also nice for an everyday casual user, as for the reasons above.
