I think there is literally no other way to do this well. Maybe for some subset of applications and OS, it could work, but Espanso works with virtually everything on Mac and Linux. (Windows too I think but I don’t use it there.) It does require a high degree of trust, but otoh it is extremely useful. It is one of the most useful pieces of software I have ever used, so I’m willing to extend it a level of trust similar to my OS or password manager.
