Universal actions is opening when just trying to open snippets (using Karabiner)

[Monroe]

I'm using Karabiner to try to get my left "control" button to activate the Alfred snippets dialog if no other button is pressed with it. Currently the shortcut for snippets is ctrl + shift + space. In Karabiner, this is the key combination I've set to be executed when my left control key is pressed alone. Every time I press it, however, the snippets dialog opens correctly, but the universal actions opens immediately afterward. This doesn't happen if I press the shortcut normally, with the actual keys.

 

Is there any reason the universal actions might be opening in this case?

Sounds like you have CTRL set to open Universal Actions.
