Nod5:
So you enter "abc" and it will be replaced by "paste 123"

You open FARR with the hotkey, select "abc" and press Enter and FARR then pastes "123" at the cursor.

But then you need to remember the keyword that will be replaced, am I right?

Whatever you put before the first pipe | character when you create the alias is visible in FARR so if you want both the keyword and text value visible do something like

--- ---abc -> 123 | paste 123But if you have a large number of such textblocks then Lintalist is more suited for the job.

Pareidol:
Might be a bit complicated or not as easy as i imagine.
Could be a workarround if there is nothing else, but I'm looking forward for publicdomains release ;)

Hm, sounds like it is just like you described what you wanted in this previous post

To use the terms from your sketch graphic: the "show in list part" goes on the left side of the | pipe character. The "send text" part goes on the right side after the string "paste ". Repeat that pattern on a new line for as many key/value pairs you have.
Why not try it for a few days (and try Lintalist too!). Then you'll see if it is a good match and if not you likely know more exactly what other features you're after.

Pareidol:
Ok,
maybe then I still get your suggested workflow not right.

My need for this tool:
- I often have to use an accounting tool for different projects
- The projects often change
- The projects have cryptic names
- When I need to enter something for one of the projects, I want to open the list with the projects "ah ok, this time it's the project with the red t-shirt" select the "red t-shirt project" and in my accounting programm the cryptic name will be entered.

tomos:
^  This sounds like it could be done with almost any clipboard extender. I know you have more requests in first post -- but if there's more than one exact way of doing something, and if something as efficient -- or almost as efficient, already exists, why not go with it?

Or maybe I'm still not fully understanding your idea...
