AUTOHOTKEY - How can I get a hotstring to initiate without a preceding space?

I've got a hotkey definition:

:*:()::(){left}

If I write something like this:

word ()

The cursor ends up between the parentheses. :) But if I write something like this:

function()

The cursor ends up to the right of the parentheses. How can I change my hotstring to always put my cursor between the parentheses, regardless of a preceding space?

:?*:()::(){left}

? (question mark): The hotstring will be triggered even when it is inside another word. Use ?0 to turn this option back off.
