Problems with Snippets and Clipboard

[gatek]

Hello!

Snippets: Several times a day I experience this behavior: working on some text I type shortcut for Alfred snippet and instead of snippet text I get current clipboard contents.

Clipboard: When I want to paste something from history, I open history, select needed clip, press enter - and nothing happens. And then if I press cmd+V again only then paste occurs. Also happens quite often.

 

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome, @gatek.

 

Try the troubleshooting steps.

Thank you, @vitor 

I did all that basically. I mean it works most of the time but sometimes it works as I described above. Mostly after switching apps or after the computer got out of sleep etc.

@gatek Do you have any other clipboard manager or keyboard modifier tools on your Mac that could be interfering with normal behaviour? Take a look at the Accessibility preferences (System Prefs > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility) for any apps listed there.

 

If so, disable any of these temporarily which should allow you to identify which tool might be causing the unexpected behaviour.

 

Cheers,
Vero

The only App I can think of is Punto Switcher. I actually found an earlier post about the same issue - 

Have you examined that issue?

It seems like the app is fettling the key events or clipboard outside of Alfred's control, which would naturally get in the way of Alfred working as expected.

 

Have you tried disabling that app and things work as expected?
