cheeth Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I switched to Alfred from Launchbar, and the biggest thing I miss is the ability to use the Clipboard History shortcut key to navigate through the history. In my case, I have my Clipboard History shortcut key as Cmd-\. What I like to do as I'm coding is to copy a few things to the clipboard, then go to where I want to paste, hold down Command, and tap \ until the item I want to paste is highlighted. With Alfred right now, I have to hit Cmd-\, then use arrow keys or cmd-# keys to pick what I want, which necessitates changing my hand position on the keyboard - not at all as efficient for me.

cheeth Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Thanks, it's just not efficient and goes against the grain having to reposition your both hands, especially for a shortcut that is used daily. -1 Alfred +1 Launch bar Link to comment

Agreed. You can always create your own keybindings though.

Alfred0 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 @Mr Pennyworth, what a clever solution! This allows me to use the same shortcut to step through each history item which is a lot better than the default setting! The only thing I'm now missing is a way to paste the item after releasing "Cmd-/". Any way to get that part working? Link to comment

I for sure can't think of a way I'm not sure whether this could be somehow used: https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ but give it a look? Till then, I guess you're stuck with pressing enter to paste Link to comment
