[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 654 bytes --] Hi Is it possible to, each time I write "...." to be subsituted by "[...]" ? I can't do it using abbrev, and I don't know how to do it using org-entities. I use it to yank quotes, for example, I write: "Like other editors, Emacs has commands to search for occurrences of a string. ....There are also commands that do the same thing, but search for patterns instead of fixed strings." And I would like to get, automatically: "Like other editors, Emacs has commands to search for occurrences of a string. [...] There are also commands that do the same thing, but search for patterns instead of fixed strings." Best regards [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1451 bytes --]

Not necessarily Org-specific, but here's my idea, untested:
```emacs-lisp
(defun my/yank-subst-ellipses ()
(interactive)
(let* ((start (point-marker))
(_ (insert (current-kill 0)))
(end (point-marker)))
(save-match-data
;; Play around with this regexp
(while (re-search-forward (rx "...") end t)
;; And this replacement text
(replace-match "[...]")))))
```
Then, since Org sets C-y as `org-yank', make an advice with it. I am
not confident in this portion at all, but here goes nothing ;)
```emacs-lisp
(require 'cl-lib)
(advice-add
#'org-yank :around
(lambda (org-yank &optional arg)
(cl-letf (((symbol-function 'yank)
(symbol-function 'my/yank-subst/ellipses)))
(funcall org-yank arg))))
```

Best,
