Hi @Vero, thanks for the reply! In following your instructions and trying to better document my issue, I discovered the issue has something to do with the way Alfred handles "show actions" with "ctrl", so I just disabled that behavior. Details follow. Attached is a screenshot of Features > Universal Actions > General on my machine, it seems to indicate `⌥⌘\` is my shortcut for "Show Actions". But even after pressing Backspace and removing the hotkey, the behavior described above still persisted. See how, in my screenshot, `fn` and `ctrl` are also checked? I noticed there's a feature where if you tap `fn` or `ctrl` it opens the action menu for the current text. And, perhaps due to a bug in Alfred, or perhaps due to my strange keyboard setup (I'm remapping keys with Karabiner and have Caps Lock set to Control), holding down Control to type `^H` would sometimes register as tapping Control, triggering this Show Actions menu. The solution for me was to simply uncheck `ctrl` in the `Show Actions` section. Hopefully this is helpful to someone else in the future.

Hi folks! I love Alfred but there's one thing that's bugged me for a while — the ^H (control-h) shortcut. I never use the backspace key on my Mac; I always type ^H. It's way quicker for me, it's on home row (I'm on Dvorak; for you QWERTY users that's ^J) and I've rebound Caps Lock to Control. If I type something in Alfred and want to delete it, I try pressing ^H as is my habit. About half the time (I'm not sure the exact conditions), it opens a "Text Action" menu with options to copy, paste, save in snippets, open in Dictionary, etc. Seems like a useful menu, but the default keybinding is completely unusable for me. I've looked through all the preferences, googled for "alfred control h shortcut", and looked through the keyboard shortcut cheat sheet with no success. What is this feature, and how do I rebind this shortcut to something else?
