lemikeone Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Hello, I don't use Alfred currently to manage my clipboard (I use the app Paste) for one single reason : In Paste, I can select multiple results (with the shift key) to paste all the results at the same time, which seems to be impossible in Alfred. Is there any solution to do that in Alfred, or is it planned in a future release ? This topic is about the clipboard, but I have exactly the same issue with Chrome bookmarks results in Alfred : I would like to be able to select more than one result to open the selection in several tabs (my workaround today is to create workflows, but it would be way more efficient to just be able to select multiple results for your search, like selecting multiple files in Finder). Anyway, thanks for this great app that I use everyday.

deanishe Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Have you tried Alfred's clipboard merging feature? I think that's Alfred's answer for this sort of use case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemikeone Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hello Deanishe, Yes, Alfred's clipboard merging feature is great, but you need to decide what you want to paste before to copy your text, which is not always easy. moonshot, erusev and mejormike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mejormike Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I have same problem. Merge feature is not work enough. So I have to find another app.. Really need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemikeone Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Hello there, Does anyone know if the fourth version of Alfred will allow user to paste multiple elements of the clipboard at one time ? That would be great 🙏 Thanks, Michaël Edited May 3, 2019 by lemikeone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vero Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 @lemikeone This is already possible, depending on what you're trying to achieve. For example, if you take a look at Alfred's built-in Getting Started workflows, which you can access in the Workflows preferences, under the [+] button > Getting Started > Clipboard, you'll find a "mergeclipboard" example: The content of the Copy to Clipboard object is {clipboard:2}, {clipboard:1}... {clipboard:3} Which means it'll paste three clipboard items at once. You can even set the "Mark as transient" option to avoid this item being added back into your clipboard. Alternatively, there's the option of using Snippet Triggers to paste the clipboard content, so that you can be more granular in which item you're pasting, all without popping up the Clipboard Viewer. If you can provide an example of what you're trying to do, we can help you work out the best way to do it Cheers, Vero cocoaaa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJJ Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 There is also a workflow that you can paste last N clipboard contents. http://www.packal.org/workflow/paste-n-clipboards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as efficient as Paste App to paste multiple elements from clipboard, but very useful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was at the time of my message, but indeed, it is now. One more reason to keep using Alfred clipboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
