I don't think it's so much a question of precedence as of restrictions that Alfred actively places on which Hotkeys you can set. I don't specifically know if these have changed in Alfred 4, but @Andrew certainly did make some changes to Hotkeys to improve their behaviour when keyboard mappings change. He's the best person to spell out what you can and can't do.

Both correct.

Got it. Is this an accurate description of what the workflow is supposed to do? If so, can you not just use this? As a rule, you should generally avoid regular expressions unless you really need them. More of a last resort.

Is this regex pasted verbatim? (^\\w+)(:\\s)([^\\0]+$) If so, then the problem was possibly the double backslashes. Beyond that, we can't really answer questions about a workflow we've never seen. We're just guessing. Whenever you have a question about a workflow that isn't doing what you expect, always post a link to the workflow, so we can see for ourselves.

Now that you mention it, I think the LaunchBar forums were made read-only a few months ago, so I guess you can't ask there… Sorry, @Ptujec! I suppose this currently is as good a place as any to ask.

Yes. You don't need pyperclip at all, in fact (you can use pbpaste to get the clipboard contents), and it would be sensible to use the system Python instead, so your workflow Just Works out-of-the-box without needing developer tools installed. A non-standard runtime is a very heavy dependency for something as tiny as this workflow appears to be.

So basically, you want to simulate ⌘C, →, ⌘C, →, ⌘C, →, ⌘C?

Hi @davidtspf, welcome to the forum. The answer to your question is "maybe". To give you a more detailed answer, we'll need a more detailed description of what you're trying to do.

I don’t understand what you mean. What is “doing a Hotkey”?

Save your script in the workflow, set the Run Script language to bash, and put this in the script box: /usr/local/bin/python3 script.py

The script doesn’t open a terminal window. That’s happening because you’re using Terminal Command. Use a Run Script instead.

😕 Because we're bad at making LaunchBar plugins?

Of course not, but why are you asking for a LaunchBar plugin here? I mean, of all the Mac-related forums you could ask on, can you think of one that has fewer LaunchBar users than the Alfred forum?

I’d assume that’s possible, yes.
