Create a hot key or macro to insert text following existing text in the address bar

I want to create a hot key or macro to insert text following existing text in the address bar without wiping out the existing text. For example: I type in the word saffron in the address bar. I want a hot key or macro which will insert, for example the word substitutions in the address bar following the word saffron.

Is this possible? TKS

Click in the address box. Then press the End button.

I don't want to repetitively type in the word "substitutions" in the address bar. I want a hot key or a macro that will do that for me, no matter what I am searching, whether it be saffron or garam masala, or anything else.

So the end result would be IE saffron substitutions or garam masala substitutions, etc.
