Hey, guys (gals?), Don't any of you have typing utilities that will fill 
in text after you hit a special key-combination?  I get   print "  typed 
automatically by holding two modifier keys and hitting 'p' key.  Sounds 
harder than it is and it's really fast. So if I switch to Python 3 I 
would change that to   print(" .  

E.g. for the Mac there are programs (utilities that run in the 
background) like Quickeys and TypeItForMe that allow you to do all sorts 
of automatic inserting of commonly used text.  They're cheap and easy to 
use.  There must be something like this for Linux and Windows, no?
