Can I have keyboard shortcut for a word?

[tbb07]

As the title suggests, I want to have a keyboard shortcut for a word, i.e. apple.

So if I set command+x to equal "apple", whenever I hit command+x, I would get the word apple inserted. Possible?

You can try a free program like 'Snippets' to assign text shortcut keys to paste specific snippets into anywhere.

For $40, I don't even want to try it, as I mgiht end up wasting the money hah. And it looks like it only works for the code editor anyway.

Anyhow, I would think what I'm asking for would be fairly simply =/, hmm...

Just "Copy" the word and paste it whenever you need it. Command + V.

Open System Preferences->Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts tab and hit the + button and create your shortcut.

Also for words you get a program like TextExpander.
