@Vero That's very interesting and acute observation😀 I do play Sodoku on my iPhone on a daily basis, :) Sudoku +, but have no idea it would do such clipboard copy/paste, this probably solve the case👍

@Vero Unfortunately I don't have spreadsheet installed on my Mac or my iPhone, no Apple Numbers or MS Excel. In fact, my iPhone settings have "Background Apps Running" closed always since I bought my 13 mini 3 years ago So I guess for the moment, the mystery continues.

Adding to the information, because of these mystery strings, I fresh installed macOS Sonoma a couple days ago on Feb-27, and then reinstall all the apps including Alfred 4. The strings matrix appears again from yesterday, the one I posted at the beginning of this thread.

I don't have a theory yet but do hope there is another example to compare with

This is one from February 13/14 .9.|...|... 8.7|.1.|4.. 164|...|.85 ---+---+--- .4.|.35|6.8 .8.|...|.4. 5.6|49.|.7. ---+---+--- 67.|...|954 ..8|.4.|7.3 ...|...|.2.

@Vero I have followed your suggestion and disable the preference, and hope this will solve the mystery. In the meantime, I also seldom use Universal Clipboard, and when I do use, it merely a quote or a web link between my Mac and my iPhone...nothing will generate this unique strings matrix. So apart from Alfred or clipboard, do you or anyone has ever seen such strings matrix before? as I mentioned before, it appeared every once or twice a day, with changed numbers and dots.

Such strings appear several times, one or twice per day, and none is from my actions, and no I have no markdown table to edit previously. Thanks for your previous suggestion, that I also notice icon for each item on the clipboard list, which shows where your copied item comes from, e.g. Firefox icon for copied items from webpages, or particular apps...and these strings share the same icon as from "Alfred Clipboard History"

Thank you Stephen. My usage with Alfred is very basic, actually I have no workflow added yet. I am also quite curious as how those strings appear automatically without user actions, and it seems generated by Alfred from the appearance of the icon. I post it here, to see weither someone else has noticed such strings before, and if so, any particular meanings?

Yes, it shows date/time of the string item, and the icon is Alfred default clipboard icon (from the Alfred Preference Menu)...so it is not from another app like Firefox or Safari

Notice strange strings on Clipboard history, anyone aware what does it mean? (Alfred 4.8) .2.|...|67. ...|.7.|..3 ...|..9|.8. ---+---+--- 3.6|...|..1 .9.|856|.3. 4..|...|8.2 ---+---+--- .5.|1..|... 7..|.2.|... .48|...|.5.

There are default "File Actions" for selected files, and is it possible to create custom file action and add to that action list? My case is with selected .mobi file, I'd like to send it to my kindle with one line of Bash command (using calibre-smtp), and do it with File Action. Thanks for any comment and suggestion.
