❔ How can I make a program that interacts with other windows programs?
For example when you want to use letter emojis to react to a message in discord, and you want to make a program where you can input a word and it automatically selects the corresponding letter emojis to react with the word in discord.

The answer to the thread title depends entirely on the program. For Discord, I believe you need to make a Discord bot to do what you're wanting. Running any level of automation on non-bot accounts is against TOS

One of the ways to get started with the Discord API is to write a
basic ping-pong bot.
thanks for the answer ❤️ so i guess discord doesnt offer directly tinkering with the program
Discord doesn't offer direct ways to edit things in discord apart from the Developer Tools every browser has (Discord is run on a framework called Electron, which is basically just a website)
It's not hard to search for ways on how to modify discord, though as our friend said above, it is against their terms of service to modify their code. That being said, discord hasnt officially banned people for modifying their client so far. All the bans have been for api related things like spamming something more than a human would possibly do. This also being said, they can change their stance on this at any point without notice.
Just FYI you can use something like Espanso or Lintalist to create text macros
Like, you can have
!lu expand into regional_indicator_u which is the full name of the 🇺 emoji
For example, I have Espanso set up to expand ..shrug into ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or ..zoop for :point_right::sunglasses::point_right:Was this issue resolved? If so, run
