solved How to create snippets w/o using the mouse?

[erusev]

I can focus the  Keyword  input (tab), and I can press the  Save  button (⌘S), but I can't find a way to toggle the Auto expansion allowed checkbox or change the Collection 😞

When you’re in Name (like your screenshot), you can ⇥ (tab) through fields/checkboxes. Use ⇧⇥ to move back, space to toggle the checkbox (when you’re in it), and the arrow keys to select something else in the dropdowns.

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately, this doesn't work 😞

 

It works for moving the focus from Name to Keyboard, but if the focus is on Keyboard, pressing tab moves the focus to the Snippet text area, skipping Collection and the checkbox.

 

I'm on Alfred 5.0 [2057], but it worked the same in 4.0.

If you want tab to move through controls (and not just text fields), you have to tell macOS itself to do it: System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Use keyboard navigation to move focus between controls (at the bottom of the window).
