KeyboardCowboy Text snippets not working.

When I try to use a snippet to trigger a workflow nothing happens. Shortcuts work fine but I just can't make snippets work.

I'm using the latest version: Version 3.26.1 (2242) on macOs 15.3.1 with M4 chip.

Hey @design-fbac,

Mind sharing some more information about your setup? Does the snippet belong in a group tied to an application? If you share the workflow, it will be easier to reproduce and fix.

Thanks in advance.

I created a Group called utilities, I don't think is tied to any application.

I tried to assign a snippet to other workflows like the default shortcut to open apple.com but it also doesn't work.

I'm gonna look into this! Thanks for providing more information 👍

Hey @design-fbac, I'm looking into this issue. For some reason, the dot character wasn't allowed in the sequence. I'm not sure why that is, but I'm removing it for the next version. I'm also removing the timeout of 0.5 seconds. I'm not sure why I added that either.

The next version is going to be awesome, I can tell you that! 😎

I'll let you know when the new version is out. I'm working on the finishing touches and making a big rewrite of the UX for adding commands.``

Weird, I would swear I tried without the dot character but it wasn't expanding either.

The timer might have also caused some issues. When testing it with the modifications locally, it did respond more reliably. But I'm gonna do some additional testing to make this feature predictable.
