Subject: [OT] wildcards in autocorrect?
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2015 10:19:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAN_Dec-apiAA1Wn3Ac4_96qmgW1znWtfSAfUWDrnTqDVgq0xRQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I make a lot of typing errors (I have an injury to one hand, which impedes
bilateral cooperation). In Libreoffice I am able to define wildcard
autocorrect objects, e.g.:

oc.* ---> co.*

This will correct ocrrect, ocmputer, ocndition, etc.  Does anyone know a
way to do something similar in Emacs? Right now I am using abbrev mode and
defining my errors one by one -- it is a very slow process since I make so
many mistakes and have a moderately large vocabulary.

I am sure this is possible somehow, I just don't know how.

thanks as always,
m
