This issue will be solved with the next update in about one week is solved:
Then we will have a new internal variable to control how escape characters are interpreted in TYPE and SENDKEYS: ![]()
!stringEscape
-
store | true | !stringEscape(default) =>\n \tare interpreted as escape strings (this is what you need). This works just as Javascript does, so\tis tab and\nis new line (etc). Like here: JavaScript character escape sequences · Mathias Bynens -
store | false | !stringEscape=> literal interpretation. For example this is useful when filling in a file path, e. g.c:\next\time\text.txtis entered exactly as this.) -
XTYPEsimulates native keyboard presses, so\nis typed just as the letters\andn. For line breaks with XTYPE use${KEY_ENTER}.
