Florian Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hey Andrew, hey everyone, I'm seeing this weird issue. I don't know if it was there before I switched to Yosemite (I only started to use hotkeys very recently): When I call up a workflow from a hotkey, I see the subtitle for mod key ⌘ first instead of the normal one. This reverts to normal as soon as I do anything (move the mouse, type a key, try to take a screenshot...). The hotkeys I have tried are Double ⌥, ctrl+T, ctrl+S, ⌘+T, so it's not even necessarily with ⌘ that the problem gets triggered, but it's always the ⌘ subtitle that I see. I replicate this effect on both my todo workflow (http://www.packal.org/workflow/todo) which doesn't have a ⌘ mod set, so I see the "Search for '(null)' with default fallback" subtitle and my TV show manager workflow (http://www.packal.org/workflow/tv-shows-manager) that does have a ⌘ mod set, so I see the ⌘ subtitle. This does not happen exactly 100% of the time. But almost. I use latest OSX and latest Alfred on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, Early 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Interesting... I've been playing with this for the past 15 mins (on 10.9) and can simulate a situation where I'm using alt+b for the hotkey, I continue to hold alt down but I see the override subtext for cmd. I imagine that the difference is 10.10 which adds to the situation is the timing or method for telling Alfred that the mod key has been released is different which means Alfred is showing the [incorrect] mod key. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Ok, I have a solution for you - it looks like the simulated modifier release is messing with the reported modifier keys to Alfred. If you configure your hotkey, right click in the hotkey field and set the Trigger Behaviour to "Pass through modifier keys", that should hopefully fix the issue. I'll look at what's causing the root issue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yay it does solve it! Thanks. Well found. Keep me posted when the root issue is fixed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
