Yes, I am very appreciative of all of you! and it's relief! I think it's unusual how my Mac works this way😅, I was determined to reinstall the OS if it's not working after trying all the methods you guys suggested, but I just happened to look at this input monitoring and turn it on, then it worked.

@Vero @Stephen_C @Andrew Thank you guys ! After trying all these methods, the culprit is the input monitoring permission. it's working when I turn it on, and not working when it's off.

yes, I just removed this sougou input completely using the app cleaner & uninstaller app, but still not working.

I asked Chatgpt this question: hi, I created a new user in Mac, but why this new user can see the apps from other users? even the same permissions listed in the accessibility It said: By default, on a Mac, all users have access to the applications installed on the system, regardless of which user installed them. This is because applications are installed system-wide and are available to all users. However, each user has their own separate user account and home directory, which means that their individual files and settings are kept separate from those of other users. Additionally, users can only access files and folders that they have been granted permission to access. If you want to restrict access to certain applications for specific users, you can use the Parental Controls feature in Mac OS X. With Parental Controls, you can set restrictions on the applications that a particular user can access, as well as limit the amount of time they can spend on the computer, restrict access to certain websites, and more. To enable Parental Controls for a user, go to System Preferences > Parental Controls and select the user you want to set restrictions for. From there, you can customize the settings according to your preferences.

Yes, I tried to reboot for several times. I created a new user and switch to this user, there are some steps to set up the environment for the user when first login. But somehow there are some apps still in the new user's environment.

@Andrew I also tried to uncheck all the apps in the accessibility except Alfred 5. I think this might reduce the potential possibility of being caused by other apps.

Hi @Andrew I think it's a personal Mac which I bought on the Apple official website. I've never reinstalled the Mac after I bought it.

No, it's a new Mac and I never migrate my apps before.

I wonder if someone who uses Alfred 5 on Macos 13.3.1(Apple M1 Pro chip) got the same situation. My friend who uses Alfred 4 on Macos 12.6 works perfectly. Can you or other team members try the same version and see if also have the same problem?

Hi @Vero, I did what you suggested to create a new user and activate the Powerpack, but I found those apps are still listed in the accessibility permissions. So I unchecked all the apps and only leave Alfred 5 on. But it's still not working. Typing in text editor take no effect.

Just tried, and still nothing happen after typing the snippet😭

thanks @Stephen_C I've tried those steps you suggested, but still not working. Very appreciate your effort!

You can also see the gif of how I did it. the configurations were set up correctly, but it didn't work as I type it.

@Stephen_CThanks for trying to help me out. I couldn't reply due to reaching the maximum of posts per day. Actually, I've set up the permissions correctly and I posted the screenshots of enabling these permissions in the previous threads. As you can see in the gif image:

Yes, I type a snippet in TextEdit and nothing happen after I typed the keyword. I tried in different apps in my mac, the situation is the same.
