Snippets conflict with CopyPaste Pro

[Emyr]

When I activate a Snippet all I get is the contents of the clipboard. If I quit CopyPaste Pro then the snippet works as expected. Is there anything I can do to stop this happening? I don’t want to stop using CopyPaste Pro. I’m new to Alfred so I could be barking up the wrong tree.

Hi @Emyr Welcome to the forum

 

It seems you've already identified CopyPaste Pro is interfering with Alfred. Alfred uses the macOS clipboard for snippets, so if another app is manipulating the clipboard outside of Alfred's control, naturally this will have an effect.

 

You could try slowing down keypresses in Alfred's Snippets preferences under the cog in the top right > Tweaking > "Slow down simulated key events", or there may be an option in CopyPaste Pro that allows you to stop it from interfering with the clipboard.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Vero. No. They don’t make any difference. I’ve gone back to using Apple’s built-in version of Snippets.

Thanks anyway.
