I want to send the following keyboard strokes to an application

"1. " (one-point-space without the quotes)

but as soon as I save the command it is automatically cut down to "1". Why is this, and is there a way to avoid that?

I have the same question (0)

    Thank you, that works fine!

    Do you also have the word for the dot? Because sometimes I have to write "1." without space.

    The "." will work for that.

     

    Here is the link for Send Keys.  It has everything listed there:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/actions-reference/mouseandkeyboard#sendkeys

     

    In the valid keys section, you can find other options.  There is a {Decimal} option if you specifically have to use the period in the Number Pad section of the keyboard.

     

    Good luck!
