You know.. I had almost exact situation, but not for the hotstrings, but to toggle on and off some of the fuctions in my script.
So I decided to use a variable that can be used to act as a switch.

I Don't know if this meet your need, but here is what I would do.

Code:

SetKeyDelay, 0
CHK = T

!n::     ;Won't be affected by suspend hotkey.
Run, Notepad
return

!`::     ;This is my suspend hotkey.
If CHK = T
{
   CHK = F
   return
}
CHK = T
return

::btw::
If CHK = T
{
   Send, by the way%A_EndChar%
   return
}
Send, btw%A_EndChar%
return

Thanks for sharing your method. Your method would come in handy for suspending single externally-defined hotstrings/hotkeys while letting the rest run as normal.

Hi,

I did it like you, but instead of renaming I write ";" into the hotstrings-file. Your way is simpler and faster. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!
While I prefer my method for my current project, I'll be using your method for other scripts. Your approach has two distinct advantages over mine:
a: No need for an external file.
b: No annoying Reload commands.

I think that this function would be a good addition to the help file.

The following trick works if you change your hotstring definitions only a little, though they are not single line any more. Alt-Z disables/enables hotstrings, which bother to check.
Code:
AutoTrim Off

!z::HotStringToggle := !HotStringToggle

::btw::
   Hot("by the way")
Return

Hot(x)
{
   Global HotStringToggle
   IfEqual HotStringToggle,1, StringTrimLeft x,A_ThisHotkey,2
   Send %x%%A_EndChar%
}
