Maliman Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hi there,  when I copy text and then type the keyword for a snippet, the copied text is pasted instead of the snippet. But I need the snippet.  Can anybody help? Thanks a lot 🙂 Link to comment
deanishe Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The problem is that Alfred is restoring the previous clipboard contents before the app you're using snippets in has pasted the snippet from the clipboard.  In the settings for snippets change the "restore clipboard" delay to something longer until the problem no longer occurs. Link to comment

Maliman Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'm sorry to trouble you again, but the problem keeps coming up again... Â Whenever I type a keyword, the last clipboard-content gets pasted instead of the snippet. Â Here is a photo of my snippet-setting. Can you help me fix the problem? Â Link to comment

The problem isn't that LibreOffice is pasting after Alfred has restored the previous clipboard (you don't even have that turned on). It simply isn't noticing that the clipboard has changed to begin with.  This is a known problem with non-native applications, especially Java ones. They sometimes use their own clipboards that they kinda-sorta keep in sync with the system one.  There isn't a whole lot Alfred can do if LibreOffice doesn't make sure its clipboard is synced up with the system one before pasting data from it.
