You're correct that I don't want the pIqaD. I want there to be a tlh 
key on the onscreen keyboard, and for it to add tlh to the document 
when I touch it. I don't know if that is keyboard mapping or macros, 
but there is, for example, already a ".com" key present in some 
contexts, so it's obviously doable.

Wade says I have to jailbreak it, but apparently the only drawback of 
doing so is that I can't upgrade the OS, and my device is no longer 
supported for OS upgrades, so no loss. To me the word "macro" 
suggests hitting key combinations, and as half the reason I'm asking 
for this is to get out of having to hit shift all the time, that 
would be self-defeating.

I think I have the information required to do this now, so I'll 
report back when I've done it.
