I have a sequence of letters I use all the time and I want to create a shortcut so that I don't have to retype it every time.

The sequence is one letter in lower case - a number in red - a letter in lower case, for example: a2b, where the "2" is in red and the "a" and "b" the same color as the rest of the text. Anybody has any ideas?

    Macros are the first thing that popped to my head.

You can set macros with aText to use system wide.

Get a keyboard with macro keys - I highly recommend any of the Logitech gaming keyboards: http://gaming.logitech.com/en-ca/gaming-keyboards?WT.ac=ps|11604|KBlistingG

I use the G19 myself and love the macro keys, and the feel of the keys.

Another program you can use is AutoHotkey. Basically it allows you to define a sequence of key presses or even entire paragraphs when you press a combination of keys on your keyboard together. It saves a lot typing or cutting and pasting, depending how you use it.
