Multi Line Paste issue in Clipboard Manager

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

When using Clipboard Manager to multi paste 12 items or more, it goes haywire.

focus shifts away from the target app, and the remaining simulated keystrokes end up launching other apps or triggering system shortcuts instead of pasting the rest of the items.

Device information:

  • Type of Mac: Macbook Studio M3 Ultra (also happens on macbook m1 pro)
  • macOS version: macOS Tahoe Version 26.4.1
  • BetterTouchTool version: Version: 6.459 (2026050204)

**Additional information : This has been happening for many versions over the years but I’ve only come around to reporting it today.

-----Repeatable steps: Copy at least 12 unique text patterns to populate your clipboard history.
Include a few clipboard items that have 2,000 characters or more.

Multi-Select them all in clipboard mgr and press enter to multi paste into Word or a text editor.

It fails halfway through and loses focus.

I notice it does launch Alfred a lot which is CMD+space for me.**

does this still happen if you quit alfred? I haven’t been able to reproduce and have never received similar reports, thus I‘m currently not really sure what could cause this for you

I thought I tested this without Alfred, but as it turns out, the issue does not occur whenI quit alfred.
Odd because the hotkey for alfred is CMD+Space, which I dont think btt uses to execute this.
