So I want to make a program that allows me to press a key (for example a). So when I press a, I want it to type(right term?) a predefined string (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz for example).

Like once the program is complete, I could go into notepad and press a and it would just type out my string.

I am pretty sure this is possible with python, but would anyone be willing to give a push in the right direction?

I would take a look at pyhook and try to use that to moniter if a is being typed and then block that and send the new string instead. If your running windows then this can be done with the win32 apis
