Global Autotype not working on Chrome tabs containing square brackets

Describe the bug
Global Autotype works well in Chrome, but doesn't work on tabs containing square brackets in the name (e.g. "Sing in [Jenkins]")

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'page containing square brackets in the title (appearing in the chrome tab)'
2. Click on 'global autotype shortcut e.g. ⌃⌥M'
3. Nothing happens, no username is typed in

Expected behavior
The user and password corresponding to the tab/window name get typed automatically in the entry fields

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• macOS: [13.6]
• Version [0.8.1]

That’s an interesting issue. I’ll try to get to the bottom of it. My first guess is some regex issue but I’m fairly sure I do escape the query but who knows. Nice find!

If you have the urls stored in the entries you could use the URL Autotype plugin as a stopgap (or permanently).
