In a text extension (is that the english name? I just have the german UI) I'd like to replace a short text with a longer one.

Examples:
ch -> Cheers,
br -> Best regards,

After some of these texts I'd like a newline and I just enter one - but that doesn't seem to work that simple.
- in Outlook I get a newline PLUS a little "?" in a box.
- in Evernote, Firefox there's no trace of the newline.
- Notepad++ works fine

Is there a better way to get a newline?

So it's called "Text Expansion", since that's what it's doing, though I'm not sure if the previous German translator converted that correctly..?

Anyway, yes something is odd about sending newline sequences. I don't know exactly where the issue is, but it seems to be somewhere in the InputSimulator since I can see "\r\n" in the string about to be sent.

Either way, I've changed my code to split the string on newline sequences and send them in a loop, using SendKeys("~") to send the enter key after each line (except for the last line, of course).

That seems to be working for me. I was able to reproduce your inconsistencies, then confirm they work as expected after the code change, so it should be fine now in version 0.3.1.8.

The problem is fixed in 0.3.1.8
Thank you :)

BTW: The german translation is correct. The word "Erweiterung" stands for both expansion and extension.
