solved Universal Text Actions not triggered in Drafts

[jjaybe]

The Hotkey Trigger for Universal Actions does not work for selected text in the Drafts App. I have tried a number of exotic keybindings to avoid accidental keybinding conflicts, but is does not work for any of them.

 

Rather, the issue seems to be that the selection in Drafts is not recognized by Alfred since the same MacOS system sound appears as in other Apps when no text is selected.

Can anyone confirm this behaviour.? Not sure if this problem occurs due to the recent Drafts update.

 

Versions:

macOS Ventura 13.2

Alfred 5.0.6

Drafts 36

 

Thanks!

Alfred does a ⌘C to get the selection, since that’s pretty much the only viable way to get the selection in any app. The sound you’re hearing is from macOS, not Alfred. Something is interfering with the OS copy.

Damn, that is indeed the piece I was missing 🙈 Didn't think of that ⌘C is actually executed and I had remapped that combination for Drafts via Keyboard Maestro.

 

Amazing, that you immediately knew the cause  Thanks @vitor!
