Compatibility mode resolves the problem immediately. I'd forgotten about that as an option. (It's time I poked into all the corners of Alfred's preferences again – I'm sure there's loads I've forgotten about over the years). Is there a downside to running in compatibility mode?

That's very helpful. Thanks, Andrew!

I have a problem with using Alfred along with BetterTouchTool. I used to have four shortcuts (CMD+1 to CMD+4) for views in Keynote, which I defined in system preferences. I decided after an OS reinstall to implement them in BTT instead (so that I wouldn't have to set them up every time I do a reinstall of Mac OS). The problem comes I bring up the clipboard viewer in Alfred and then try to use the cmd+numeral to paste a result. For CMD+1 to CMD+4, it activates the BTT shortcut instead of pasting the required text. I could add another modifier key to these BTT shortcuts but I've been using them for years so I'd rather not if I can avoid it. Does Alfred have a way of announcing that it is active which the BTT devs could use to stop the app-specific shortcuts from activating?

This happens to me too, and I've only just got round to searching to see if there's a solution. Anyone resolved this?
