Space in hostring without end chars

[asheroto]

Hello!

I want to add a hotstring so that when I press

Code: Select all

{space} i {space}

it replaces the lowercase i with a capital I.

Meaning...

Code: Select all

 i

becomes

Code: Select all

 I

I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried using ^Space without success.

What's the trick?

Thank you!

If I understand correctly, such a hotstring could look like this (assuming you want the replacement text without these spaces):

Code: Select all

:C*: i ::I

This should work at the beginning of words. If it should also work inside words, you could also add the ? option.

Spaces and tabs are treated literally within hotstring definitions.

Thanks. Almost got it perfect. But I need it to replace as I'm typing a sentence. For example, if I type...

Code: Select all

Then i went to the store.

It should replace it to be

Code: Select all

Then I went to the store.

How can I get it to detect within a sentence?

You mean something like this?

Code: Select all

:C*?: i :: I `

this would preserve the typed spaces around the I, and would work inside a word. (You are technically still inside the last word if you just press one space, because that space is actually part of your hotstring trigger - which, by default, would be deleted by the substitution text).
