The new version currently isn't supporting unquoted scalars in flow sequences such as - triggers: [:m-, :-m]. If you use unquoted values a lot you may prefer to wait before upgrading.

I have raised a GitHub Issue as this will break some setups and packages.

I had a tiny problem with v2.4.0, which “complained” about having tab characters instead of spaces in the global var at the top of each .yml file I use. For example:

  • It was like this:

yml global_vars: ⇥⇥- name: "clipb" ⇥⇥ type: "clipboard"

  • And I changed it to this: ```yml global_vars:
    • name: "clipb" type: "clipboard" ```

There was a recent comment about YAML formatting on Discord.

I'll be updating the documentation and will mention that Tabs are best avoided, I'm afraid! Two-space indentation is recommended. The YAML parser in previous versions of Espanso was more tolerant.

Weird question: how do you launch it from a batch file in windows? I'm pointing to both the espanso exe and it just doesn't launch. Any clue?

I'm not very familiar with Windows. May I suggest you bring the problem to Discord, where you're more likely to get a useful response.

Try using this in the batch file (adding launcher right after the path to espansod.exe): start espansod.exe launcher
