autokey
autokey is a desktop automation utility for Linux, that allows the automation of virtually any task by responding to typed abbreviations and hot keys. It offers a full-featured GUI that makes it highly accessible for novices, as well as a scripting interface offering the full flexibility and power of the Python language.
One use case is for auto "text expansion" or assigning "hot strings", that help reduce typing the same phrase again and again.
The tool has been also featured on lifehacker (a productivity blog) a couple of times :
