Does it help to try the alternative [`force_mode:`](https://espanso.org/docs/matches/basics/#injection-mechanism) mechanisms?
Follow the link in my message above. It has two options - `clipboard`, and `keys`. Try them both. The latter is equivalent to `backend: Inject` in `default.yml`. The setting is...
If you've tried both options, and it's still not working, I wonder if it's one of those issues which crops up with non-English keyboards? Sometimes some of the other inject...
In that case it's not the keyboard issue, but speed of Espanso execution, perhaps. Would you mind posting your trigger code and OS? Is your PC relatively modern? Mine's old,...
Espanso's default path (`pwd`) is the user's home directory. The Espanso directory is referenced in the [script extension](https://espanso.org/docs/matches/extensions/#script-extension) as `%CONFIG%`, e.g. ` - "%CONFIG%/scripts/script.py"`, although I think this is a...
I can't duplicate the issue here (Mint Xfce, LibreOffice Writer) but it may relate to the `clipboard_threshold` setting and the threshold of changeover of `backend`s. See [Options reference](https://espanso.org/docs/configuration/options/#options-reference). It may...
Yes, that does much the same - in fact I have so many of these in scripts and app-specific configurations I'm beginning to wonder what the advantages of using `Inject`,...
Please note, `force_clipboard:` is now deprecated in favour of the `force_mode: clipboard`/`keys` options, which are more flexible. See #1939.
Generally speaking, I find that using `clipboard` rather than `inject`/`keys`, together with settings in the programs that set \ to newline rather than send, enables me to send messages in...
How do you get around the fact that \ undoes the expansion? I suppose most of us would deal with this situation with a suffixed trigger like "a:" and not...
