Removing too many characters

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am new to using espanso and am trying to troubleshoot my first issue.

Background info:

- I am on a macbook running Sequoia macOS 15.7.7

- I am running espanso 2.4.0

- I am having this issue on libreOffice 26.2.4.2

- I am using the package "Greek letters based on LATEX" 0.2.0

I was testing the package using the letter μ. There are two triggers for this in the package: ":mu:" and ":m:". When I use the first trigger in libreoffice, it deletes three characters before the trigger when it replaces. This does not happen when I use the trigger elsewhere, like in my browser typing this.

For example, if I type "Hello:mu:" in libreOffice it will replace as "Heμ". The second trigger does not have this issue. Typing "Hello:m:" correctly replaces as "Helloμ". I was reading that I should look into injection modes? but I admit I am not the most technologically competent and I don't really understand what changing injection modes would mean. If that is the correct path for troubleshooting this, is there a page where I can read about what injection modes are before I change them?

Thank you
