So if you set, say, every time you press apostrophe, then it should send a y, and trigger immediately, then - well, that's what it does.(Its a bit difficult to explain, but it's easy enough to set up, once you've got the hang of it).

Yes, that's what I meant by needing a lower-level, keyboard-specific program to achieve the effect they wanted. When I said ANY program, I meant like Sigil, calibre, Word, etc... None of those editing-type programs which allow you to define your own keyboard shortcuts (within that program) are going to allow you to assign the 'u' key to a permanent, alternative function. Some memory resident third-party, hotkey-centric application (like the one you mentioned) will be required.
