In my experience, autocorrect often is activated when you type a space or newline, and only looks back a single word at a time. So with a bit of extra work, you might be able to avoid triggering the autocorrect on the hyphens. Perhaps something like this? type: space hyphen space hyphen space f i x space backspace to delete the spaces forward arrow past the "fix" before typing another space I have found that variations of this seems to work with autocorrect on some systems.
