@Enkk Welcome to the forum You can easily deactivate a license on your Mac by showing the license details in the Powerpack tab and choosing "Deactivate". If you ever encounter any issues, you can simply drop us a line and we'll help you out. Cheers, Vero

Hi @woowoo - Welcome to the forum. As custom theming is a Powerpack-specific feature, please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile. This is only visible to admins and allows us to confirm your registered email address. Cheers, Vero

@Erik E I recall you emailed us and mentioned you were using virtual machines. Is this happening on your standard Mac account or exclusively in the virtual machine? Your mileage may vary with VMs, as the way they interpret key events is very different to native apps. Cheers, Vero

@deanishe Just coming back to this to add something that might be beneficial to @Cody and others reading the thread too... If there's something in your clipboard you want to keep, press Cmd + S to save it as a snippet, give it a name and hit save; There's no need to set a trigger for *every* snippet you create. I've got a collection of non-expanding snippets just called "links and stuff" that are various links to posts, snips of code I need every so often, but have no intention of remembering a snippet trigger for. As of 3.6 (currently in pre-release), it's possible to switch the matching to include snippet content, so you'll need to set a name, but it doesn't need to be mind-blowingly complicated. Once you're in the Clipboard Viewer, type part of the snippet text and it'll appear in your results. With this option, there's less friction in storing a snippet (which also has the benefit of it being synced/backed up if syncing is enabled) without the risk of storing an infinitely ballooning clipboard history database. Cheers, Vero

@ACGarland Welcome to the forum. The Clipboard History is stored as plain text by default, so you can pop up your Clipboard Viewer (Cmd + Alt + C by default) and select the item you want to paste. Alternatively, if you know that you specifically want to paste the 2nd or 3rd item, you can use dynamic placeholders in the workflow mentioned in the earlier post: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/dynamic-placeholders/#clipboard If I've misunderstood what you're looking for, could you give an example of what you have in mind? Cheers, Vero

@nandorocker Welcome to the forum. Alfred never directly hijacks the clipboard in such a way, but this could be achieved with the Powerpack. Could you please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile? This is only visible to admins (Andrew and I) and allows us to confirm your registered status. I've temporarily locked this thread, but once you've confirmed your details, we'll be happy to help you further Cheers, Vero

@mikedvzo In reply to your message on Andrew's forum profile, given that this is a GrowlNotify error, and we don't have any direct relationship with Growl, it may be worth seeing whether Growl still provides support and post on their forum/support channel. Cheers, Vero

@JvdL Take a look at Firefox's own preferences, as this behaviour is set by the app opening the URLs and not by Alfred. E.g. in Safari, it's in the Tabs preferences: Cheers, Vero

@JvdL As much as possible, avoid simulating keystrokes as this isn't a reliable way to perform actions. Wherever possible, your best bet is to use Alfred's built-in objects to do the majority of what you want, and use AppleScript or another appropriate solution where scripting is required and it can't be done using objects. Simulating keystrokes should be a last resort, as it can be really quirky.

Hi @JvdL and welcome to the forum There's a good built-in workflow you can use as example to teach you how to do what you describe; Open Alfred's preferences to the Workflows tab, and click the [+] button at the bottom of the sidebar. In Examples, choose "Should I watch this movie?" This workflow shows you how to use a keyword to launch three websites (YouTube, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes). Now you can create your Blank Workflow to create your own in a similar way; Instead of a keyword, you'll start your workflow with a hotkey, and connect it to two "Open URL" objects. Set the URL for each site you listed above, and choose Firefox as the browser for each one. Let me know if you need any further help Cheers, Vero

@speedisgood Could you please fill in a valid Powerpack email address in your forum profile? This is only visible to admins (Andrew and I) and allows us to confirm you're a Powerpack user (given you previously asked Powerpack specific questions) We'll then be happy to help you out with your question. Cheers, Vero

@BrianBarr Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for the nudge @deanishe. I've now updated that link to point to the forum instead of the legacy Packal page. Cheers, Vero

Hi @Windedhiker and welcome to the forum. Alfred's theming only affects what Alfred himself looks like, and doesn't control the Notes application's colour scheme. As far as theming Alfred, the "Alfred Dark" built-in theme uses white text on black background. Cheers, Vero

Hi @Jim Ratliff, welcome to the forum and apologies for the slow reply to your post! I'd be interested to hear why you're choosing to manually launch Alfred after login; Have you previously experienced any issues with syncing your Alfred preferences, causing you to choose to not launch Alfred at login? Cheers, Vero

@ggarmo Could you please take a look at the Alfred Remote troubleshooting steps here? https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/remote/ Have you changed network since the first time you set up your connection successfully and this second attempt? Cheers, Vero

@s95hc8 Take a look at the troubleshooting steps on the Indexing page here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ If results aren't being returned from file searches, there's likely some corruption to your Mac's metadata index (even if Spotlight appears to return some results). Follow the steps to rebuild your Mac's index, and let it run until it's done, which can take up to an hour. [Edited to add: I notice that in a previous thread, you stated that you were using Onyx on a regular basis to manage your metadata index, so I would ensure that Onyx is not being run or used for a while, to ensure that this isn't having an unexpected impact on your index.] Once it's completed, type "reload" into Alfred to clear the application cache (which only affects apps, not general files, as the latter are not cached) and let us know how it goes. Cheers, Vero

@Gautam Thanks for filling your details in The Clipboard History itself is considered to be temporary, local data, and there's no way to "star" a clipboard item as such. However, if you choose a Clipboard text item you want to keep and press Cmd + S, you'll be able to save it as a snippet. Not only will the snippet then be saved as part of your preferences, it'll also be synced between your Macs. You can keep a collection of snippets that's solely for the kind of "long term clipboard" items you have in mind. Pop up the Clipboard Viewer and type a few characters from that item to filter to it, rather than setting text expansion keywords for them. Cheers, Vero

@Steve Ball Have you tried restarting Chrome? We've had reports that after Chrome did its last background update, some users have been having slight behaviour issues with it (unrelated to Alfred) and restarting the browser was sufficient. Cheers, Vero

@georgexsh This is a macOS shortcoming, which you would experience as well if you were to type "dict://hello" into Safari; MacOS doesn't change to the appropriate Space in that situation either. Resolving this is not as simple as Alfred launching the command to define the word, followed by bringing Dictionary to come into focus, as some users may be using the "dict://" URL scheme to launch a different dictionary application from the default macOS one. In that case, launching the word definition (in their chosen app) then bringing Dictionary into focus would create unwanted, confusing behaviour. Having said that, you can easily replace the "define" keyword with a small workflow that opens the "dict://{query}" in your default Dictionary, followed by an object launching the Dictionary app (which should bring you to the right Space if it's already launched). You can then disable the default "define" keyword in Features > Dictionary. I'm moving this to Discussion & Help, so let us know if you need any help creating the workflow described above Cheers, Vero
