Maddog Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) I don't know if my hand is shaking or if my keyboard is too sensitive (I did change the default repeat rate in OSX), but I keep merging clipboard items accidentally, I sort of like the merge feature and would like to try to keep using it, but the regular shortcut is just not working out for me. Maybe there's a trick to changing it to something else? EDIT: I'm using a bunch of other keyboard oriented utilities - Seil, Karabiner, Hammerspoon Thanks Edited December 6, 2018 by Maddog Link to comment
Vero Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 @Maddog I would suspect that one of the third party apps is resulting in Cmd + C + C being accidentally triggered. If you either disable these apps temporarily, or use a secondary account on your Mac where they aren't running, do you encounter the accidental merge there? Alternatively, you can disable merging and create a workflow with a different hotkey, where you can say merge the two most recently copied items together. It would require remembering a different hotkey combo, but might suit you better Link to comment
vitor Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 @Maddog Does that happen frequently on the same apps? I noticed that when I had that feature on, it mostly happened when copying from iTerm2. 5 hours ago, Vero said: create a workflow with a different hotkey, where you can say merge the two most recently copied items together. I started making precisely that to share, and it ended up being way easier than what I was envisioning initially. There you go. Maddog and Vero 2 Link to comment
Vero Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 @vitor Yup, it literally is that simple Thanks for creating it - I was about to come back to this thread and make one! And yes, iTerm2 is a likely source of the issue, @Maddog, if you're using it. iTerm has a "copy on select" option, which I believe you can disable if that's the only instance where you see it happening! Well remembered, Vitor. Cheers, Vero Link to comment
Maddog Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) It's happening mostly with VSCode, that's the only program where I made good use of this feature. Thank you @Vero and @vitor, I'll try both suggestions! Edited December 11, 2018 by Maddog Link to comment

There you go. Thank you! Works like a charm. Modified it so it adds a space instead of a line break. Link to comment
