Insert{Char,Key} hook does not respect \

define-command enter-test-mode %{
    hook -group kak-test global InsertChar .* %{
        execute-keys -draft %sh{
            key=$kak_hook_param
            printf %s "<a-;>\i${key}"
        }
    }
}

define-command leave-test-mode %{
    remove-hooks global kak-test
}

Outcome

• after executing enter-test-mode:
  • adding characters in insert mode will result in doubles
  • recursive call of hook InsertChar/<key>, not executing in debug buffer

Expected

• after executing enter-test-mode:
  • adding characters in insert mode will result in doubles
  • no errors in debug buffer

Did you try escaping the semicolon? <a-semicolon>.

Do you mean updating to the following?

define-command enter-test-mode %{
    hook -group kak-test global InsertChar .* %{
        execute-keys -draft %sh{
            key=$kak_hook_param
            printf %s "<a-semicolon>\i${key}"
        }
    }
}

It still seems to act the same way. I think the issue lies in \i${key} is still triggering the current hook despite the \. I've also tried with <esc>\i${key} and it acts the same way
