# Period Double Space
This package replicates the behavior of macOS and mobile keyboards, allowing you to double tap the space key to create a period.

## Credits

I, yellowwinner, only asked a question and packaged it. By default [**Espanso**](https://espanso.org/) does not let you have an empty trigger so after a couple of attempts this is the workaround. As far as I can tell this just works without issue. Thank you to `Archigos`, `.joh6nn` and `smeech0` on the [**Espanso Discord**](https://discord.gg/4QARseMS6k) for helping me get this to work.

#### This package has only been tested on PikaOS 4 (Debian Sid)

The description reads a bit grammatically off (“Add period…”). Consider adjusting to something like “Add a period with a double-space, like macOS or smartphones.” since this shows up as user-facing package metadata.

Suggested change

Copilot is wrong - the replacement doesn't add a period with a double-space.

Ah - perhaps you mean "use double-space to add a period"?

Would you kindly amend this to the simplest - regex: ' ' or "\ \ " as suggested in https://discord.com/channels/884163483409731584/1013916990760554608/1466710043415150715, please, or shall I?

regex: "(\ \ )" is likely invalid YAML: in YAML double-quoted strings, backslash starts an escape sequence, and \ is typically treated as an unknown/invalid escape. This can break parsing and prevent the package from loading. Use a YAML-safe representation (e.g., single quotes and/or a clearer regex like {2}) so the file parses correctly and the intended “two spaces” match is unambiguous.

Suggested change
- regex: "(\ \ )"
- regex: '( {2})'

It's not invalid, but as I pointed out the brackets are not needed. ' {2}' is perhaps the clearest of the alternatives, however.

replace: ". "
