Cool! I took a break from "dead-serious hacking" a
couple of days and solved this problem with the help of
the idle timer you told me about earlier. This
"solution" is not one I would recommend to anyone, but
it was interesting to see that the idle timer indeed
worked exactly as expected.
(defun word-to-defun (word)
(if (string= word "thedate")
(progn
(backward-kill-word 1)
(date)) ))
(defun read-last-word ()
(save-excursion
(backward-word)
(string-make-multibyte (thing-at-point 'word)) ))
(defun read-trigger-last-word ()
(interactive)
(word-to-defun (read-last-word)) )
(run-with-idle-timer 1 t 'read-trigger-last-word)
