Hello,

I have the following hotstring ':o:btw::by the way' and I frequently, but not always get: 'btwby the way'. It's almost as if the backspace that would precede the replace is not working.

Anyone experience the same problem and/or know of some way to get around this?

Hello,
Would this problem have anything to do with keystroke buffer overflow?

Would it have something to do with the application you were using at the time not correctly receiving the {backspace} keystrokes sent for the autoreplace?

Have you tried:
Code:
:K20o:btw::by the way

or
Code:
:B0o:btw::{bs 3}by the way
