thanks! I don't know how others feel, but I'd like to suggest that this be the default and then you have to uncheck it to turn that off.

HI all- I prefer my alfred window/search bar to be in the top right of my screen. On my MacBookPro it was as simple as dragging it up there. On my MacPro with a freshly installed OS (both running el capitan and alfred 3.3.1) i can drag the search bar up to the top right, but as soon as i complete whatever i'm doing it then puts it back in the middle of the screen the next time thanks!

one of the video games I play has an important key that I press often in an in convenient place and no way to remap what the key does within the game. The key in question is the '5' key on the numeric keypad is there a way i can use alfred to make it so that when i hit the 'a' key it will instead send a '5' ? If so, i would need some help figuring out how to do it. I don't know alfred well at all and simply telling me "make an action" will leave me lost. assuming alfred can do this, is there a way to easily activate and deactivate this when i'm inside/outside of the game? also - if alfred cannot do this, any recommendations on how to achieve this? thanks PS - one other thing - is there a way , with alfred (or anything else) to assign a left mouse click to a keyboard key? the mac has a way to do it, but doesn't give you options to change it's builtin key that it has set up

thanks so much for your reply andrew! super appreciated! i've rebooted both macs in single user mode and performed fsck -fy then launched into recovery mode and repaired all permissions then , while still in recovery mode, i've launched the terminal and performed "changepassword" for the purpose of repairing user folder permissions - yet the issue persists. which means, unfortunately, it still leaves me in the dark with unusable software. so i'm not sure what to do. What i'm going to do is de-install alfred and completely re-install it. could you please alert me as to every place there is a file associated with alfred on the drive? or is it as simple as deleting the app and the associated preference file in ~/library ? thanks!

OH - one other thing sometimes the issue is consistent and I'll go days where the issue will persist, then all the sudden it will work and i'll see my recent docs in alfred. right now all my recent docs are available in alfred - but i expect in a few hours that will change. the only thing that i can think of that's differnet is that i recently rebooted (and i normally leave this mac running 24/7) maybe there's something to that? point is: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. very odd...

THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING ON TWO DIFFERENT MACS: mac pro 2009 - yosemite 10.10.5, alfred 2.8.4 macbook pro mid 2015 - el capitan 10.11.5, alfred 2.8.4 Hello, I recently switched over to Alfred from launchbar, and also purchased the powerpack the issue i'm having has to do with opening recent documents as I've set up alfred to allow for this by hitting the right arrow twice once I've found the app i'm looking for. At first it worked beautifully. But out of nowhere the recent items are disappearing from the submenu. so for instance, I have a document in numbers called "budget". It used to be that if i hit "command-space" to bring up alfred, then type "num" it would show me "numbers". then I'd hit the right arrow twice and i would see the document there in the sub menu and hit "enter" to launch it. but some time ago the sub menu that has the recent items started showing up either completely empty or missing items that i launch all the time. to be clear: the main apps always come up just fine when I hit “command-space”, it’s only the recent items in the sub menu that are an issue. Once launched, I checked to see if the recent items were available in the app itself. The two computers have a slightly different result. And the issue is not consistent across apps. Some apps (like text edit) have all of my recent docs available in both alfred and the app itself. but others, most specifically numbers, do not (but it’s not just numbers). on the older mac pro, the issue is much more prevalent , where the most recent items are not available in either alfred or the app itself on the newer macbook pro i find that while alfred consistently does not offer the most recent apps (similar to the mac pro), many of the apps themselves do in fact have the most recent items listed there this started only after installing alfred - it was completely fine prior to install any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who helped me swtich to alfred from launchbar - super appreciated! it's everything launch bar used to be, and so much more! I have a few suggestions i'll be posting in the suggestions area, but wanted to stop by here first and show my appreciation thanks!
