The main use of my iMac G4 is typing. On my main computer however, I'm used to inserting various special characters on the fly by typing something specific; Global macros were created in the usual System Preferences ➜ Keyboard ➜ Text, but I also have app-specific macros that I created in BetterTouchTool, for example the number pad keys insert special characters when in TextEdit, but not in other apps.
I find myself feeling a little bit lost when I don't have these handy things on the G4 because Tiger didn't have that text replacement feature just yet. It's a really simple principle though, so I wonder if there's any software workarounds that would allow replicating that behavior? Either a global menu bar app, or a standalone text editor that supports this feature (and of course, works on a PPC Tiger). I'd like to avoid bloated and visually overwhelming text editors if at all possible, because I typically do this in plain text.
