Show HN: Espanso: detect a typed keyword and replace it while you're typing

I seem to have found a bug. When I use the default match ":espanso" on my terminal (Kitty) it gets expanded to "hi there1", while I expect "Hi there!". Seems to work fine on Firefox.

Edit: Seems like it's an issue with shifted characters? When I type any trigger and erase, for example ":espanso", I expect the first character to be a colon (:) but instead I get a semi-colon (;). Weird.

Thanks for reporting this issue! I'm working on a patch that should solve this problem. In the meanwhile, can you try adding:

backend: Clipboard

on your default.yml file and see if that helps?

Same issue with shift not working under Kitty. (e.g. :DATE trigger produces )@?)#?@)@! )

backend: Clipboard works intermittently for me
