I was trying to type space with ovf(space()). I think the right way is to do ovf(place(%20))
ovf(place(%20)) and ovf(place(‘%20’)) both don’t work with OptiKey. They literally put %20 to the string.
ovf(place()) argument must be without quotes.
For the hyperlinks, my request is to do the URL-decoding and also remove quotes (at least single quotes).

For example ovf(place(‘3’)) would place 3 and not ‘3’. Then also ovf(place(‘ ‘)) would place space symbol and not ‘%20’

I've created a single slide pptx file. CK20V2.pptx

It tests:

It generates this aid

Which displays like this: Screenshot 2021-09-21 at 07 11 44

Which isn't as I think it should look (the place commands have overwritten the label somehow...)

I put images in to see if there was an effect: Screenshot 2021-09-21 at 07 15 58

but no luck.

Looking at the code (grab_text.py line 73), it's clear that I intended that behaviour when I wrote it, but I don't know why...

The display issue has been solved: Screenshot 2021-09-21 at 13 18 53 but nobody was complaining about that, so time to deal with the actual issue.
