/sigh I really didn't want to have to create yet another account, but it looks like I need to step in and clear up some confusion.
 
`alfred-emoji` does not get directly edited within Alfred. Therefore, there is no need to keep the "real info.plist" around in the repository. Yes, it is ***very*** frustrating that Alfred's info.plist schema is not documented anywhere and to add new things (e.g. a hotkey item) requires tinkering around in Alfred to figure out what it does to the plist. But it's far easier to do that tinkering and then migrate the differences to the *very rarely* changing source XML than it is to constantly try to keep the "real info.plist" in sync with the source repository.
 
In short: I setup the repository as an actual project and not some poke-and-prod thing that Alfred workflow development necessitates. Typical Alfred workflow developers may not like that, but I will take the benevolent dictator approach and reject any change to the contrary.

Sure, this is easy (my description may not have been clear), I meant just add another "Copy to Clipboard" action with an action modifier (e.g. set to ⌘) and select "Automatically paste to frontmost app", as the below screenshots show (for your workflow). This could be done by the individual users, but I think it would be more handy if already included in your workflow.

 

Ah! I understand now. Yes, I like this. I'll try to add it soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

With the new features in Alfred Snippets, I'm considering consolidating all my snippets from aText into Alfred.  One feature that I use often in aText is the ability to embed a snippet inside another snippet expansion. This allows me to treat smaller snippets as variables that can be reused in other larger snippets.
 
Is this possible with Alfred's Snippets?
