| You can optionally allow typed string triggers to work regardless of case, regardless of diacriticals, or to remember the case of the typed string and mimic the case in any Insert Text actions. You can limit the typed string trigger to only work after a word break (which means any non-alphanumeric character, or any case that cancels the sequence as described above). | You can optionally allow typed string triggers to work regardless of case, regardless of diacriticals, or to remember the case of the typed string and mimic the case in any Insert Text actions.

| - | Alternatively, you can use a regular expression to match a trigger. The trigger is matched against the end of the typing sequence, so there is an implicit \z on the end of the regular expression. Note that it would be useless to try to match a word break at the end with \b or some sort of positive or negative lookahead assertion as the typing sequence always ends at the current character. So for example "ell\b" would match "hell" even if the next character you planned on typing was an "o". | + | Alternatively, you can use a [[:Regular Expressions|regular expression]] to match a trigger.

| If multiple typed string triggers match from the end (eg "hello" and "llo"), the longest will be used. If there are multiple matches with the same length (as can occur if you use the case or diacritic options), the conflict palette will be displayed, offering a selection of the matching macros. In this case, if all of the typed string triggers have the "Simulate N deletes before executing" option enabled, the deletes will be simulated immediately and then the conflict palette will be displayed; otherwise the deletes will not be simulated. | If multiple typed string triggers match from the end (eg "hello" and "llo"), the longest will be used.
