Cannot send keycodes like <Space> or <Semicolon>

[Szymon-Wrzos]

Using zsh, I'm trying to create mp_attach alias, that will launch zsh in proc and send provided command

Example of usage:
"mp_attach uvicorn main:app"
It need to be launched in zsh as I have set up automatic launching of venv

zsh -c doesn't do the trick

When it comes to space and semicolon, it throws an error: Error: Wrong key code: "Space" and Error: Wrong key code: "Semicolon" respectively

Usual < > and <:> causes similar error as well

Code:

function mp_attach() {
  command="$@"
  parts=(${(s[])command})
  mprocs --ctl "{c: add-proc, cmd: zsh" --server localhost:4050
  for char in $parts; do 
    echo $char
    if [[ $char == ' ' ]]; then
      mprocs --ctl "{c: send-key, key: <Space>}" --server localhost:4050
    elif [[ $char == ':' ]]; then 

      mprocs --ctl "{c: send-key, key: <Semicolon>}" --server localhost:4050
    else 
      mprocs --ctl "{c: send-key, key: <$char>}" --server localhost:4050
    fi
  done
  mprocs --ctl "{c: send-key, key: <Enter>}" --server localhost:4050

}

Result:

And in mprocs:

For 'add-proc' I launch zsh and the rest of commands are ignored

Thank you for a very detailed explanation. Unfortunately, currently it's impossible to send these keys. I just added most basic keys and never describes the rest of the keys.

I will add more keys in the next version, or feel free to send a PR.
