Hi Vero, thanks for the response. What I want is for k@ to expand to 'phrase1' and, say, ak@ to expand to 'phrase2' In otherwords, I do not want k@ to expand when I type karthik@. Does that make sense?
In otherwords I want to be able to designate few snippets as 'whole word only'. In the above example, k@ would be designated as needing to be a whole word and not part of another word
