Auto-replacement text

:*:d1``::

Is there anyway to make this a one liner? For example like the following:
:*:d1``:: Date_now(1)

Create a custom Function, like this:

Code: Select all

F1::CustomFunction("Auto")
F2::CustomFunction("I am a ")

CustomFunction(Txt)
{
	Txt .= "Hotkey"
	MsgBox % Txt
}
