Making a ".com" key - Remapping keys to phrases

[drewsimon]

After using an iPhone, I'm totally jealous of the ".com" key. Anyone know how to remap a physical key to type a phrase like ".com". Ideally, I'd like to set a rarely used key like the Windows button or an F-key to be a ".com" button and when you press shift it becomes a ".org" or ".net" button.

Anyone have any tips?

Autokey is definitely a good choice as it's actively developed.
