Hi! I just purchased Fastkeys and am coming across an issue. In Text Expander, I have a few substituted phrases that end in multiple exclamation points. It seems any more than 1 exclamation point in the phrase will remove all exclamation points. Is there a way around this?


Current behavior:
Testing! will show up as Testing!
Testing!!!! will show up as Testing

Expected behavior:
Testing!!!! will show up as Testing!!!!

Thank you!

The following characters have a special meaning in FastKeys:
^ - Ctrl key,
! - Alt key,
+ - Shift key,
# - Win key.
This allows sending not only text but also other actions. To send those characters you need to select Send Raw Text option or enclose them in braces, like {^}, {!}, {+}, {#}.

In your case
Testing{!}{!}{!}{!}
;)
