• ⌘↩: Overwrite with another. ⌘↩ again to restart the original.
• ⌥↩: Clone. ⌘↩ when naming to start the new one.
• ⌃↩: Delete.
• ⇧↩: Ignore or Unignore.
• fn↩: Switch between Main and Ignored lists.

How to Report Issues

 

Accurate and thorough information is crucial for a proper diagnosis. At a minimum, your report should include:

• The debugger output of the failing action.
• Your installed versions of: the Workflow, Alfred, and macOS. Be precise, don’t say “latest”.
  

More information is always welcome. A short video of the steps with the debugger open may help to identify the problem faster.
