Can't copy with hotkey (⌘C) in quicklook


Recommended Posts

When showing quicklook in Alfred, you can't copy text in it with ⌘C, but only with mouse click and context menu, while it is possible in Finder. Is it because the hotkey is occupied by Alfred? Is there a way to work around?

I can’t reproduce, I can copy fine in all situations.

  • Have you tried with different files?
  • What version of Alfred and macOS are you on (please share the exact versions)?
  • How did you trigger the Quick Look preview in Alfred (in which context; with which keyword; if it was showing results from a Workflow).
  • What file type have you tried it on?
  • Could you share one of the files?
  • Do you have any Quick Look plugins installed (if so, which)?

I think it does has something to do with the quicklook plugins I installed. I'm using Syntax Highlight, QLMarkdown and some others, which covers the most types of files.

It works just fine on PDF files, for example.

But still, it works on all kinds of files in Finder.

So I think it's not a problem of Alfred's… But thanks for your reply :)
