I read that text expander can have multiple strings that trigger it. Can Autocomplete also have multiple strings that trigger it?

We rely on lots of Autocompletes but starting with /

So we have for example:

/email - item 1
/email - item 2

and so when we type /email we get a menu of all options that start with /email. Super powerful!

But when I want the same autocomplete to be triggered by multiple strings, I am not sure how to do that other than copy the entire autocomplete. Then when we update that email, sometimes the other copies get forgotten. So I want to just have a single autocomplete that can be triggered by multiple strings for example:

/email - item 1 /text - item 1 both would fire the same autocomplete.

Thanks for your help!

You could enable "Include words containing the string" option in Preferences/Auto Complete and then set the string containing multiple words.

Also, check Tools/User variables for settings some personal data like emails etc. which can then be used in different phrases.
