Does this do something like TextExpander and Keyboard Maestro? is that the general idea?

The one thing I really can't stand about macOS is "Secure Input". It won't let you use something like TE or KM to input a password. You're forced to copy and paste.

As far as I understand, you can't disable that feature either... because securiteh! :/

It actually will. The problem is that when secure input is enabled, you can’t trigger a macro from the keyboard, because the daemon isn’t allowed to intercept keystrokes. But if you can trigger the macro some other way, like through a mouse button or a MIDI message, keystrokes can be sent just fine, even into a password field.
