Unfortunately I found this automation quite buggy. It would require multiple presses to trigger the action, with a very high failure rate and sometimes it would take seconds to trigger it (same result with - and with _. For me it made no difference). I think the problem was it was quite cpu-intensive. I rewrote it for anyone interested to try it. At least for me it works flawlessly now.
EDIT: Just noticed I was using your V1. I didn’t try V2.
