    Does Window have ability to auto-change shorthand into words


    For example can you make shortkeys such as, if you do a 'ty' it will turn into 'thank you' and other stuff like that.
    (in Mac you can do that)

    If you use a program such as PhraseExpress (free/ paid) you should be able to do that or similar.
    Autotext - Boilerplate Template Manager - Text Expander

    Remember, an O/S is conventionally a layer or abstraction between the hardware and the user- programs then add functionality. However Windows has always come with certain programs of varying levels of capability. Just not that one.
