Now whenever we type ‘hi’ AutoHotkey expands that text for us as soon as it sees an ‘h’ followed by an ‘i’ — unless that ‘hi’ is in part of a word, such as in the case of ‘sushi’.

If you want AutoHotkey to expand abbreviations even when that abbreviation is found within another word, use a question mark:

:?:hi::Hi, I'm gonna expand *even in the middle of a word*{!} ; Example 7

Now if we type ‘sushi’ we get this: ‘susHi, I’m gonna expand even in the middle of a word!’.

If you’re interested in this kind of expansion your best bet is probably combining the asterisk and question mark operators so you have immediate expansion, no matter where you are:

:?*:hi::Hello{!} I'm going to expand no matter what{!} ; Example 8
