Detect word phrases on keyboard input on system/Xorg globally
Hello!
Is there any tool or any way to do action, for example send notification when i write a chosen word(s) on keyboard?
I want something that will work globally, on any app, just for all system or all Xorg.
I want to stop using curses (i don't know is it the good English word for it, cause my English is not perfect, i mean f*ck, etc.)

Not tested, but http://henning-liebenau.de/xchainkeys/ might allow this (if you can have keychains w/o a modifier you could bind "f u c k" to some "notify-send" command.
Caveats:
* this will rather not check whether you're typing into the same client or how much time is between the keypresses, so you might get undesired effects if you type "f" as last letter, switch to another client, type "u c" and "k" in a third one
* it will not work when a client actively grabs the keyboard
* "fuck" is the good English word for "fuck"
