JBR Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 When creating a workflow, delivering {query} to both the 'Large Type' and 'Copy to Clipboard' output options causes the setting 'Automatically paste to front most app' within 'Copy to Clipboard' to not complete.

Perhaps there could be a workflow element, such as "Switch Apps", that could be used to return focus to whichever app had focus immediately prior to Alfred? Similar to performing a 'Cmd + Tab'...

Similar to performing a 'Cmd + Tab'... This happens by default anyway, it's just when you use the Large Type, Alfred remains the active app (to show the Large Type).

andy4222 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I couldn't do Copy to Clipboard and Large Type actions together and figured that adding a delay before Large Type works. Posting this in case it helps someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
