Dear LyX Users,

Do you know if its possible to have (arbitrary) custom maths autocorrections in 
LyX. For example, if I type ‘-->’ I would like lyx to automatically replace it 
with ‘⟶’. LyX does support this, but only if the input sequence is two 
characters, for example ‘=>’ will be replaced by ‘⇒’.

(I did find a file ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\Resources\autocorrect’ but 
I’m not sure as the best way of modifying it).

It would also be nice if I could get this working in normal text mode as well, 
I noticed that LyX replaces ‘--’ with ‘–’, but I was unable to find a way of 
adding extra completions.

If none of these features are present in LyX, would it be OK and not too 
difficult if I tried to implement these myself?
