You can define them above your matches, and they will be available across all
matches defined in that file and it's children.)

Case propagation

(highlight:: Espanso also supports case-propagation, which makes it possible to expand a match
preserving the trigger casing.)

Cursor Hints

Quote

(highlight:: To solve this problem, Espanso supports cursor hints, a way to control the position of the cursor
after the expansion. Using them is very simple, just insert | where you want the cursor to be positioned, in this case:)

Quote

You can only define one cursor hint per match. Multiple hints will be ignored. If you need multiple hints, a decent replacement would be to use Forms.
