Yeah, I don't have my KDE setup in front of me right now, but I feel like there is something in the keyboard settings that could emulate at least a subset of Epsanso's features. I know on macOS/iOS there is text replacements which are a simple replacement mechanism, without the ability to insert variables.

I agree, though, seems like a ripe piece of low-hanging fruit that could be better integrated and safer. Even if the lower level stuff just hands it off to a dedicated tool that handles the replacement text, at least the OS/WM should be the one watching the keys.
