Follow-up questions:

I *think* most of your questions are answered [here](https://manual.mailmate-app.com/custom_key_bindings.html#key-bindings-in-mailmate).


You are right: when I went back I found that this did specify the separating character. I was doing it right; I must just have forgotten the source of this information.
2. Would it be possible to add a log entry if MailMate does not find a file?

I've added this.

Thanks.  Will this pop-up in a beta build when I update?

3. Are there any characters forbidden in filenames?

No.

Then I guess I'm still at a loss. When a keystroke fails to do what I expect, is there any debugging recourse? Is there some sort of API that Apple supplies to let you query a keyboard configuration with a keystroke to find out what will happen? Is there a logging capability that one can use to see how keystrokes were mapped in an application?

IMO that's the problem with all these domain-specific languages like the plist -- people who build them don't just *assume* that they'll go wrong sometime, as software always does, and think about how they can be debugged when the inevitable happens.

Best,
