Version: 27.3.0.137 on Windows 10 OS (PC)
Writing a script to use the Edit menu's Search and Replace function to change some text in lyrics. Need to find if there is a way to enter a "hidden space" (Ctrl-SPACE BAR or ALT-0160 on numpad) into the Search for: box. I have tried [press ctrl space bar], [press ctrl space], [type raw ctrl space bar], even [press alt "0160"] with no results except either a regular space or the script freezing on a command where I have to close Finale and reopen to continue trying other keystrokes.
