I wonder if it would be possible to build an app that's effectively a self-installed keylogger given access to your entire stream of writing, and after a few days, it starts to recommend candidate strings for automation with Autohotkey.

This was the idea behind the Blackberry Android keyboard.

Source: Was there, wrote code for it.

sounds like code that could be useful to this day at least the concepts. That's the downside of closed source. It's gone now.

I think it could. It could log words for a certain amount of time, give a list of recommendations, and export it as a AutoHotkey file.

It would be a neat project at the very least.

My Samsung keyboard on my S6 does this.
