Saving a key mapping with a descendant selector in "match" corrupts the space into \u0020

[craftsmandigital]

Describe the bug

"Hello, I am trying to create a key mapping to show link hints for all links inside a specific container. The command I am trying to save in 'Custom key mappings' is: map <v-repo-links> LinkHints.activate match="#repo-content-turbo-frame a" Expected result: The command should be saved exactly as written. Actual result: After saving, the command is corrupted to: map <v-repo-links> LinkHints.activate match="#repo-content-turbo-frame\u0020a" This breaks the CSS selector. The same corruption happens when using runKey. This makes it impossible to use descendant selectors in key mappings."

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Browser, OS and Vimium C versions

• Browser: Vivaldi
• Browser version: 7.4.3684.55 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
• Vimium C version: 2.12.2
• OS name and version: Windows 11 Home, Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100

2.12.2

Bug: Command parser corrupts JavaScript in openUrl url= parameter

Description

When mapping keys to execute JavaScript bookmarklets using openUrl url=, VimiumC's command parser incorrectly splits the JavaScript code when saving settings, breaking the syntax.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enter the following mapping in Custom key mappings:

map v-test openUrl url='javascript:(()=>{const x="hello";alert(x);})();'

2. Click "Save Options"

3. The mapping becomes corrupted:

map v-test openUrl url="'javascript:(()=>{const" x="\"hello\";alert(x);})();'"

Expected Behavior

The JavaScript code should remain intact after saving, with proper quote preservation.

Actual Behavior

• Spaces are converted to \u0020 in some cases
• Double quotes inside the JavaScript are treated as parameter delimiters rather than string literals
• The saved configuration breaks the JavaScript syntax, causing execution errors

Minimal Example

Input:

map v-test openUrl url='javascript:alert("test");'

After save (corrupted):

map v-test openUrl url="'javascript:alert(\"test\");"

Environment

• VimiumC version: [Your version]
• Browser: [Chrome/Firefox/Edge]
• Browser version: [Your version]

Workaround

Using bookmarks with openBookmark title= works correctly as a temporary solution.

Suggested Fix

The command parser should respect quoted strings and not treat internal quotes/spaces as delimiters when parsing the url= parameter.
