MacOCD Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm Running Alfred 2 on my iMac 10.8.3. I've disabled CMD+SPACE from launching Spotlight and I have that to launch Alfred instead. I've tried to do the same on my 10.7.5 Macbook (too old to upgrade to 10.8), but I am not allowed to set the Launch Alfred Hotkey to CMD+SPACE. Having had many years of launching items with CMD+SPACE I'd really like to keep that as the setting with Alfredv2. Is it possible? I have disabled Spotlight launching so that's not the problem. Any ideas? Thanks. Link to comment

Have you had a look at this knowledge base entry?

MacOCD Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) That fixed it, thanks I hadn't checked the languages section as I only have English installed. Suprised that having 1 language only doesn't disable "Previous Language" keyboard shortcuts defaults. I was unaware of Alfred until I saw a ScreenCastsOnline tutorial a week or so ago. I was so impressed I jumped straight in as a MegaSupporter. I've loving the extra power. I'm really looking forward to the Workflows tutorial they'll be doing soon. http://www.screencastsonline.com/search/?s=alfred Mark. Have you had a look at this knowledge base entry?

Glad you're all sorted, and pleased that you enjoyed ScreenCasts Online's tutorial - I watched it today and will definitely recommend it to anyone who's new to Alfred! Link to comment
