Currently, because of how the argument parsing of feedkeys is done https://git.pwmt.org/pwmt/girara/-/blob/develop/girara/shortcuts.c#L570-603 , it appears impossible to send literally the string <F1> for example. Common escapes like \<F1> or <lt>F1> doesn't work.

These two usually works in Vim. I suggest implementing some option, for which <Less> or <S-,> appear to be the easiest and least likely to break some existing configuration.

 2.  A backslash is represented with "\\", double backslash, or "<Bslash>".
 3.  A real '<' is represented with "\<" or "<lt>".  When there is no
     confusion possible, a '<' can be used directly.
