Hi, hoping you can help with this. I'm finding that sometimes Alfred doesn't pop up the input bar when I invoke it with ⌘+space. When that's not working, I can also click the icon and click "Toggle Alfred", which also does nothing. Quitting Alfred and starting it again sometimes restores functionality and sometimes doesn't.
I've read Using Cmd + Space as Alfred hotkey already, followed all the steps, but no changes were required.
It works brilliantly the rest of the time, just has these little episodes.
What you were doing when the issue happened
Using it during work (Firefox, PyCharm, nothing that may mess up global state like launching a game).
I have two macOS users - home and work - and this only seems to happen on the work account, which is not an administrator.
The home account is usually not logged in but sometimes is. The issue occurs regardless.
Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action (Update any third-party apps and restart your Mac if relevant)
It's inconsistent but happens a few times a week. Restarting the Mac does consistently fix it, but kind of a hassle.
Include any screenshots that might help us
Can't think of any, but feel free to ask :) I'd also be happy to provide ?diagnostics.
Include the Alfred version & build number you are using
4.6.1 [1274].
It also has full disk access and accessibility access and is configured for ⌘+space.
Include your macOS version
12.0.1.
Include the version number of any third-party apps relevant to your issue
No idea if any of these are relevant, but these are also running:
Rectangle 0.49
Unsplash Wallpapers 1.4.5
BetterTouchTool 3.624 (fairly minimal config, nothing bound to ⌘+space)
AlDente 2.2
I also tried using ShortcutDetective and it's always detecting Alfred as receiving the shortcut (eg never Spotlight), even though Alfred then doesn't show up.
Guessing it may be an issue with Alfred not opening properly rather than a keyboard shortcut issue, but I'd love to hear your thoughts!
