I would like to be able to write `;h1` in emacs and be transformed to

`@c h1 *` when in texinfo-mode.  But only if it starts at the beginning

of the line. 



But actually I would like for this to happen in any mode, by replacing

`@c` with the comment label of the particular major mode I am in.

M-; starts a comment in all major modes, is that what you want?

I want some kind of replacement, because I want to avoid having to press 

the Shift Key frequently to get `@` and `*`.  



I could write `;h1` to get `@c h1 *`, with the number of `*` being defined

by the numeric value preceeding the letter `h`.

I don't understand: what Shift key?  M-; doesn't require any Shift
keys, and it inserts @c in Texinfo.  So what is the problem?

Look into abbrev-mode
