Note that for the new "Emoji" stuff the release notes say: "The colon-separated names are handled specially by AutoCorrect feature of LibreOffice: they are replaced immediately within words, too (no need to press space after words)."

Since I don't use v5 yet I can't confirm, but it might be useful. I've only ever done a few macros with OO/LO - they do seem like a lot more hard work than they should be.

ETA: I touch-type, something I was taught at high school - and all us boys said "Erk! That's girls stuff." but it's turned out to be one of the more useful things I got from high school. The point being that I tend not to rely on autocorrect a whole lot, and bits of it I turn off as annoying and distracting. However, if you like that sort of stuff you might find it worth your while wading through the big collection of add-ons and pre-written macros etc.. (Don't forget that many of the old OpenOffice macros will work too.) If nothing else the pre-written macros can make useful examples.
