Copy to Clipboard Output - single tab character won't persist [Fixed 2.7 b382]

[tjh]

Hi,

 

I just tried creating a workflow that will copy a single tab character to the clipboard and paste it into the frontmost app.

 

However, the Copy to Clipboard item's textbox will show me entering the tab character, but when I hit Save and then reopen that Output action, the tab character is gone.

 

I'm guessing that textbox is trimming whitespace upon saving. Is there a way to force the tab character to persist?

 

Thanks,
T

 

PS The reason I'm creating this workflow is to get around OSX on Chrome not recognizing Option + Tab, or other typical commands to force a tab in a text entry area.

There really isn't any reason why Alfred should be trimming this. I'll remove the trim in the next release

This should now be fixed if you update to the 2.7 pre-release (in Alfred's update prefs)
