"+" sends [plus] instead of [shift-equal] #1520

Open user202729 opened 2 years ago

Describe the bug

As above. If Plover attempts to output "+" it sends its own key instead of shift-equal.

That appears to break compatibility with some applications, e.g. vim receive it as ^[Ol and does not recognize it as +.

(I don't know if it's vim's fault or Plover's fault, will inspect later. Nevertheless using a more "common" combination would be compatible with more applications.)

To Reproduce

  1. Install Plover on Mac
  2. open vim in terminal.
  3. Define some entry to translate to + then stroke it.
  4. See output in vim as-if [esc] O l is pressed.

Expected behavior

As usual.

Operating system

I'm not sure what the right fix is under the hood, but as a work-around you can try defining an entry for {#Shift_L(=)} which will send shift-equal explicitly.

But it's not undoable (i.e. * does not delete the same number of characters), for one. (a{#backspace} does not count)
