[Linux] Different behaviour when pasting unicode characters

[Kycko]

Details

I'm trying to use this code to paste en dash (U+2013):

F2 >> '–'

When I'm pressing F2 some apps (zen browser for example) are getting expected input (en dash), others not (for example Telegram): they just get "2013 " string.

System info

keymapper version: 5.3.1
OS: Archlinux
DE: Plasma 6
Keyboard layouts: two (ru & en)

Workaround

I've found issue #296 with a workaround, edited my conf file:

type  = copy["$0"] paste
copy  = $(echo -n "$0" | xclip -selection clipboard) ^
paste = Shift{Insert}

F2 >> type['–']

This code works as expected in all the apps.

Edit: for Wayland users it's better to replace xclip -selection clipboard with wl-copy.
