Simple Dictionary Prefs query

[Cassady]

Greetings!

 

Under AlfredPreferences/Features/Dictionary, right at the bottom under "Spell a word", is a check-box next to "Paste word on action", with "... after copying it to the clipboard" as description.

 

Blame the lack of coffee today - but what does this setting do?

Cannot work out/see any difference regardless of it being selected, since I'm presumably not pasting/actioning right?

Could someone please enlighten me? 

 

Many thanks!

Activate a text field. Then, call Alfred with something like spell word. ↩ on the first result.

Now, if you had that setting checked, you’ll see “word” was pasted to the text field you had open. If you had the setting unchecked, you’ll see no result.

 

With both options, “word” will now also be in your clipboard.

Thank you for the clear explanation - I get it now!
