How do I fix the problem with typing R-R in raw steno output?

When I'm practicing the steno alphabet using Plover on Joshua Grams' steno-jig Github site, I'm unable to type the letter combination of R-R in the Left+Right steno-jig lesson.

I unchecked user.json and main.json, leaving only command.json ticked in Plover's settings. I think my settings are correct, but I still keep getting this error.I can type left R and right R (-R) one after another as R -R, but when I press R-R using raw steno output I get a spacebar hit instead of the intended output.

I tried to solve the problem by changing the main.json file by opening it with Microsoft Word and looking for the R-R output, but I couldn't find the output for that letter combination in the main.json file. Why can't I type R-R in raw steno output?

R-R outputs enter/return. If you look in the commands.json file, you can see R-R outputs enter (shown as new line, it works best for programming) I recommend looking through this dictionary, as it will show you some good commands if you plan on using the steno keyboard a lot. (eg. arrow keys, escape, tab) Disabling it will let you type R-R without entering. I would also recommend asking stenography questions in a place where there are more stenographers, you're lucky I found this post! r/stenography, r/plover, plover discord, etc would be a better place than StackOverflow.
