Can't figure out how to get snippets working

[annafung]

Apologies if this is discussed elsewhere;

 

I'm having some issues with snippets. I can't get them to autoexpand in text, even though I've verified the accessibility options in my mac + "auto expand by keyword" options. 

 

I've just downloaded the newest version of Alfred yesterday, with the powerpack, and I'm running Catalina 10.15.6.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

In text? Which applications are snippets not working in?

[Vero]

@annafung Open Alfred's preferences to General > Request permissions... Under Accessibility, remove and re-add Alfred, as Catalina can forget which apps have been granted permissions and re-setting it is usually sufficient to re-enable this.

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Cheers,

error was between chair + keyboard....

 

SO I'd set the permissions correctly in accessibility.... after rereading all the instructions again, I realized I forgot to actually set the keywords. 

(I'd created the names + snippets, and checked the box, but did not actually create keywords.)
