--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
+1, could see the utility of managing and inserting AutoText and AutoCorrect
Replacements from a set of Content panels on a new Sidebar Deck.

Current handling of the mytexts.bau via the AutoText... dialog is a bit
convoluted to establish new Name:Shortcut pairs for users needs. While
importing a communal shared set of texts requires some effort to validate the
XML and get per-user paths sorted.

While the more concise AutoCorrect replacement pairings of string or :emoji:
brackets with "correction text" is recorded per-user to profile in the
DocumentList.xml of their copy of the default autocorrect dat file, e.g.
acor_en-US.dat

Both mytexts.bau and the acor_en-US.dat copy are simple Zip archives.
