Snippet expansion in Orion Browser

[paulw]

I've been using Orion Browser recently, which is Webkit based, and running into an issue with Alfred snippet expansion.

 

I have a snippet for my email address for example, like @@em which expands into my full email address—let's say "my@email.com". In other browsers, including Safari, this works with no problem. In Orion, though, it expands to "@@my@email."

 

If I use macOS's built-in text expansion, there's no such issue.

 

I've tried disabling all extensions in Orion, but no luck.

 

Any ideas?

Just noticed there's an open issue about this at Orion's feedback site

@paulw Could you try slowing down key events in Alfred's Snippets preferences? It may be that Orion is a slower browser, and needs more time between actions.

 

To do this, open your Alfred prefs > Features > Snippets > Auto-Expansion Options > Tweaking > Simulated key event speed. Set it to the slowest speed and see if the keyword is fully removed. If it is, speed up the key events until you get to a timing that still works for Orion without necessarily being the slowest.

 

Let me know how you get on  It might be worth adding this note to the Orion bug report if it sorts things out for you.

Brilliant! That worked, thanks @Vero. Just shifting it down to "Faster" solved the issue. I'll update the Orion bug report with that info.
