solved Clipboard getting started workflow doesn't replace it's variables

[slifin]

If I put "hello" into my clipboard 

 

then I enable the getting started clipboard workflow, then run "mergeclipboard" one of the commands in that workflow via Alfred I'll have this printed to my active window:

 

{clipboard:2}, {clipboard:1}...

{clipboard:3}

 

The placeholder values are not being replaced with their actual values

@slifin Apologies for the slow response - looks like I missed your post. Could you please let me know where you're typing "mergeclipboard", and whether you have a sufficient number of items in your clipboard?

 

You need to have

 

1. Clipboard History enabled under Features > Clipboard
2. A minimum of four items in your clipboard history (since clipboard:1 is offset by one, clipboard:0 is the current clipboard content)
3. To type "mergeclipboard" into Alfred (as it's a keyword object, not a snippet trigger).

 

It will then paste the results to the frontmost application, provided a suitable text field has focus. I've tested this on Mojave and it's working as expected so let me know if you're still having issues after taking a look at the essential points above 

 

Cheers,
Vero

Specified Clipboard History needs to be active

Ah I didn't have Clipboard history enabled under Features > Clipboard 

It works as expected now ?
