How to bind a string to hotkey?

Question

I want to quick paste some different strings using hotkeys. For example if I press Alt+L in any input form it works like if I pasted loremipsum. Or it may be some abbreviation, for example I enter li, press Tab and get loremipsum.

I'm using Linux Mint with KDE desktop.

In Windows I could do it using AutoHotkey
