It won't work and function like commands, I can't use "uptime?" for example as a keyword.

You can use uptime? as a keyword and make it trigger a command.

!keyword add uptime? command:uptime

I didn't think of keywords. 🧠

!keyword add uptime? command:uptime

This would cause the keyword to mach anywhere. So if someone in chat would say Does anyone know the uptime?, the bot would react as well. If you want the bot to only react on uptime? and nothing else, you have to use a regular expression like so

!keyword add --regex ^uptime\?$ command:uptime

Explanation: ^ makes sure, that this is the beginning of the message, $ makes sure that the end of the message has been reached. Regexes have some characters that have a special meaning. You don't have to bother what that meaning is, you just need to know that you have to put a \ in front of them to tell the regex "this has no special meaning, just take it for what it is". Those symbols include: .*+?^${}()|[]\. So for example, if you have a ( in your keyowrd, replace it with \( and you are good to go.

I think this issue can be closed?
