Well, that means ".mf" will not do anything. But when you enter ".me" for
".mention", those three characters are enough to launch the macro.
 
Why don't you use another intro-char which is likely not to be used in "real
applications", e.g. "#" or "^" etc. (I'm using german kbd, so what is easily
accessible for me might differ from your foreign kbd, but I think you get
the idea)

Betreff: [power-pro] Key macro help



I've followed the help file for setting up keyboard macros and have
basically gotten it working. I defined the hotkey as the period and
then defined a couple of test macros as the docs indicate. For example
.me  will be replaced with my email address.

The problem I am having is that if I type anything that starts with
.me such as .mention then that also gets replaced as <emailaddr>tion
which is not what I want. 

Is there a setting I need to change to make this work? I suppose I can
always define the macro name as "me " with the space at the end but
would rather not as that is not clearly visible if I ever have to come
back and debug it. Additionally it is 1 more character to have to type.

Anyone have any ideas.
