Hey Andrew, thanks for the quick response.

You are a genius. When I read "network drivers" it clicked... I recently installed sshfs and FUSE... exactly the problem.

I unmounted an sshfs drive that got disconnected, and voilà!

Unpredictably yet frequently Alfred 3 will take a full second to respond to my hotkey (currently command-space).

This problem started when I got a new MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) and transferred my settings. Using Mac OS X 10.12.6 (16G29).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Invoke Alfred
2. Press esc and repeat step 1 until the invocation delay occurs

This can take me anywhere from 1 to 100 tries before it happens again. It's very unpredictable, though usually happens on my first try after a few minutes. In other cases the first try will respond instantaneously, but the 2nd try will not.

This is suuuuper duper annoying. It makes Alfred unusable for me (BTW I'm a "Mega Supporter" and long-time evangelist of Alfred).

Attempted fixes:

• Removed Alfred 3 settings entirely from ~/Library/Application Support
• Removed old Alfred 2 settings and Alfred 3 settings from ~/Library/Application Support
• Reinstalled Alfred
• Quit all other apps and watched Activity Monitor while reproducing the issue (saw nothing obvious)
• Restarted computer

Here is an excerpt of things I'm seeing in Console.app near when the issue occurs. No idea if any of this is related b/c Console.app is a constant stream of garbage.

Hopefully we can fix this!

I made a System volume control workflow. Holding the hotkey down does not cause the workflow to run repeatedly (after my configured "key repeat" delay).

I would love if "rapidly trigger workflow when key is held" were an option (read: a checkbox) when creating hotkey workflow components.

Loving the Workflows. Such power!
