auto find and replace in Google Docs App Script

Question

I'm trying to create a note-taking template/script for Google Docs (docs, not spreadsheets) that automatically converts abbreviations into full words/phrases (ex. typing 'mgmt' automatically turns into 'management'). I can't figure out how have this happen in real-time (vs. running the script after typing is done, which would basically be a quicker find and replace).

Any tips? Or is this even possible? Thank you!

If you look under "Tools" and click "Preferences", that would be what you are looking for.

Cheers.
