Stop Autohotkey hotstring last symbol trigger

I'm trying to use hotstrings but I have problems with the 'Z' option.

This is my code:

d::
    Return

:?*CZB0:dw::
    Send, asdf
    Return

Explanation:

I'm trying to define a hotstring 'dw'. I don't want to see the 'd', so I redefine it to just Return, and I disable backspacing by the 'B0' option. The problem is that although I'm using the 'Z' option, the 'w' still appears.

Example:

I send 'd' -> Nothing appears in the text field

I send 'w' -> 'wasdf' appears in the text field

I want to see only 'asdf'. Isn't this what the 'Z' option is for? How can I achieve that?

P.S. I can not redefine the 'w' to just Return - I'm using it for something else.

The actual code is here. And this is the file I'm asking about.

Cheap, but why don't you just backspace over the w?:

This is my modification:

d::
    Return

:?*CZB0:dw::
    Send, {bs}asdf
    Return

Hth,
