snippets not automatically pasting on ONE of my Macs

[octothorpe]

hi,

 

I've got two Macs, both new, both running Big Sur 11.5.1. Alfred is installed on both machines, and I'm keeping the preferences synced. 

 

On my iMac, when I trigger a text snippet, it does not automatically paste into whatever text editor I'm using. The snippet does come to the clipboard, so if I hit ⌘-V to paste, it appears. On my MacBook Air, the snippet automatically pastes correctly as it's always done for me.

 

On the iMac, I've triple-checked the OS permissions Alfred asks for and they're all set correctly. I also carefully compared Alfred's Snippets settings on both Macs (screenshot attached) and they're identical. I must be missing something, though because my snippets aren't working right.

macOS likes to get confused about that. Go into System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility, remove Alfred from the list (really remove, not just uncheck!), then re-add it.

Bingo! That did the trick. Thanks!
