Autoexpand in Note App creates newline

[FroZen_X]

Hello,

 

while using OS X Notes app, autoexpand adds a newline to the expanded word. Only happens from the 2nd line on.

Look here:

 

 

This seems to happen only in Notes.

 

OS X 10.11.5

Alfred v3.0.1 Build 657

 

 

Cheers,

If you copy and paste that same check mark into Notes, do you get the same behaviour?

The same behaviour happens with anything i copy paste as i see now.

Is that a Notes bug? Or a settings problem?

Damnit, i just checked out this thread: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/84823/how-to-force-os-x-notes-application-to-lose-formatting-when-i-paste-text-from-cl

 

When you paste with Opt+Shift+Cmd+V then it doesn't happen. This matches then the current style. Could Alfred do the same?

Not all apps support that combo, so it would turn things into a bit of a fudge which I'm not willing to do.

 

I'm moving this to noted as it's not a bug in Alfred, and I'll keep this in mind for the future.

I understand and that's not what i meant or wanted you to do ^^

A keycombo is nothing reliable.

 

In the Forum they were talking about paste and match the style. Was thinking if that would be possible.

Like remove all previous formattting etc.

Alfred always pastes without formatting (plain text), so I suspect that within Notes.app itself, it internally treats the paste and match style key combo differently.

Andrew!

The thread itself provided the fix!

Like this:

If you would like to make this the default action when pressing ⌘V, open System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts, and select Application Shortcuts from the list on the left. Then, hit + to make a new shortcut, select Notes.app from the dropdown list, enter Paste and Match Style exactly in the Menu Title box, then hit ⌘V with your cursor in the Keyboard Shortcut box. After hitting Add, you can flip back to Notes.app and click on the Edit menu to see that the shortcut has been reassigned.

 

 

When i set the shortcut for Notes and set Menu Title to "Paste and Match Style", it fixes also Alfreds expand

Might be helpful for others.
