[SOLVED] Can't get Empty Trash to work


Recommended Posts

Alfred 4

MacBook Pro

Catalina 10.15.3

 

I'm setting up a new MacBook and I'm having trouble getting Empty trash to work. I have the Empty Trash system feature activated with 'e' as the keyword. When I try to use it, it opens Evernote instead. I don't have any Evernote workflows and (as far as I can tell, no other keyboard shortcuts set up for Evernote).

 

In my system preferences, I have given Alfred access to Accessibility and Full Disk Access, but I can't figure out how to add apps to Automation - there's no '+' sign.

 

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

I think I've got it working: I changed the keyword to 'er' and used that command a few times. After that, using just 'e' brought up 'Empty Trash' as the second choice (after Evernote). I changed the keyword back to 'e', and kept using the 'e' and selecting 'Empty Trash' until it moved to the first choice. All is good.
