I'll close this as I think it's resolved for now. I don't know if the newly documented [`x11_use_xdotool_backend`](https://espanso.org/docs/configuration/options/) option is of help?

Output of tabs (`\t`) like newline `\n` is now possible and [documented](https://espanso.org/docs/matches/basics/#static-matches). Ctrl-keys which have an ASCII code can be used as [inputs and outputs](https://espanso.org/docs/matches/basics/#keyboard-triggers).

This is now quite an old issue. I am unable to reproduce the problem on a UK keyboard, as all the triggers work as expected. Is it still a problem?

Thank you. We now have a number of similar issues which appear to involve non-English keyboard layouts, which we'll need to pull together somehow.
