solved How to go back from the Alfred Actions area to the main search results

[smarkwallace]

Hello,

 

I am a relatively new user to Alfred. I was wondering if this is possible or not...

 

After locating a file in Alfred, I press the (right arrow) and it takes me to the actions area where I can choose from a list of things like "Open", or "Get Info", "Delete", etc. If I use the down arrow to make my selection and then the right arrow again, it invokes that selection's action. This all makes sense... BUT what I was wondering is that if I am viewing the possible actions and decide to go BACK to the search results from where I started, can I do so? Left arrow doesn't work, ESC key takes me completely out. I don't see any other options.

 

Thoughts or suggestions? So far I simply have to bring up Alfred again, and do the same search to go to perhaps select a different file than I did originally. I wish I could just go back and be where I was after my initial search and navigate that list.

 

Thanks!

Welcome @smarkwallace,

 

Pressing esc works for me. I have reread your post multiple times but nothing jumps out as the cause. How exactly are you locating the file in Alfred? Could you perhaps record a short video of the behaviour? Maybe that will provide a clue.

Hello! Thanks for responding. So, I had restarted my computer and tried this again and it is now working as expected. If I notice anything else, I'll be sure to follow up here with a video and more info.
