Snippets pasting copied text

[Johnny]

Hi,

 

Every now and then, I find that when I type the shortcut for a snippet (e.g. !qem should expand to give my email address), instead Alfred pastes the last thing I copied to the clipboard.  Is this unique to me, or something others have come across, and how can I stop it?

 

Thanks,

 

John

@Johnny Open Alfred's preferences to Features > Snippets > Auto Expansion Options > Tweaking and slow down the key events.

 

It's likely that the app you're using when this happens is a slower non-native app (or macOS may be very busy at the time) so slowing down the key events then speeding them back up until you find your sweet spot is the best way to deal with that

That's great! Thanks ever so much for such a quick response, Vero - much appreciated.
