Hotkeys to show file actions

[odetinin]

Hello:

 

Sometimes "Show Actions" keys (fn, ctrl) needed to be pressed twice to display list of available file actions.

 

Thanks,

Could you be more specific? What does 'sometimes' mean? Are there any specific circumstances that create this issue? Do you have any apps that affect the keyboard, like a keyboard re-mapper?

 

Thanks!

I used workflow from this example: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1431-a-bash-script-to-get-path-of-document-open-by-the-frontmost-window/?p=9665

 

In a finder select any file and trigger above mentioned workflow. Select a file/folder in Alfred window. In order to trigger file actions "ctrl"/"fn" needs to be pressed twice.

It does not affect "tab"/"right arrow").

 

Thanks !

Is there some other application that could be conflicting with this somehow? I can't seem to replicate your issue. For clarification, I changed the hotkey to show results actions to Ctrl, opened Finder, popped up Alfred, typed 'browse' and pressed enter. The opened Alfred in browse mode to the current location as expected. I pressed Ctrl and the result actions were shown.

I double checked -- there is no key mapping conflict.

It does not always excibit such behavior. If I invoke it on a same selection second time, it will work (caching perhaps ?).

 

Try to navigate to a different folder location in a Finder and invoke this workflow using a hotkey (I have a hotkey and a keyword attached to this workflow -- could it be an issue ?).

 

As I said before only "ctrl" and "fn" keys are affected.

One thing you could try to eliminate external factors would be to create another user account and log in to it and launch Alfred. Try it again and see if you get the same results.
