Settings > Insert space after auto completion

[j-a-s-o-n-g]

So a few of the plugins I use accept a query/argument. So it includes an <action keyword> <option> <argument>, such as:

r yt-dlp youtube.com/?v=whatever

As it is currently, I launch Flow Launcher, type in "r", then the suggestions pop up, I use the keyboard to navigate to the one I want or type in a few of the beginning letters, I hit the CTRL+Tab binding to auto-complete, and then I HAVE to press space and then paste. If I don't, then the option and the argument are considered the same thing and obviously doesn't work.

Not the end of the world, but it only makes sense if you're autocompleting an option from the list, and it requires a argument, that it should auto-add the space.

Adding a space to most autocompletes doesn't seem to break anything, even to things that don't have options or arguments, so a blanket setting to add a space after ALL autocompletes would be great for me. If you can intelligently detect if there are arguments and conditionally add a space, that would be 5Head, but not necessary for what I need it for.

Thanks!

If you're talking about just adding a space to the end of the autocomplete, ex: foo -> foo , then that will indeed break stuff (#2605). You should probably create an issue on the plugin's repo asking for a space to be added on the plugin's side, instead of on flow's side.

Thanks @cibere, that's unfortunate to hear. I went ahead and added a suggestion to the plugin(s) I think should incorporate this change.

Perhaps there is still some kind of way FlowLauncher can intelligently add a space when it detects options instead of always adding a space then. 🤔
