Blacklisting Alfred does not work

[chrisgrieser]

Inside the Alfred prompt, I don't really need vim, and I want to quit the prompt with esc. However, with svim, it takes 2-3 times escape before it quits.

Annoyingly, adding any of these to the blacklist does not work (and I confirmed that the blacklist does work with other apps)

"Alfred 5"
Alfred 5
Alfred
com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred

I also tried both, the Standard Mode and the Compatibility Mode of Alfred, blacklisting Alfred does not work in any of those

I think you would want to check in this function

SketchyVim/src/ax.c

Line 116 in acda553

static inline bool ax_get_selected_element(struct ax* ax) {

wether the host of the selected element is blacklisted. The current black listing does not work with alfred, since alfred never signals a front application changed event here

SketchyVim/src/workspace.m

Line 31 in acda553

- (void)appSwitched:(NSNotification *)notification {

I just tried it and using Alfred in compatibility mode with Alfred in the blacklist works here. Remember to restart svim after changing the blacklist.

I have done exactly that, added Alfred to the blacklist, enabled compatibility mode, and restarted svim via brew services restart svim, still not working.

Could you try with the current master build? I am using that rather than the homebrew release. If this fixes the problem I will make a new release.

[chrisgrieser]

Can confirm, with the master it works. 🥳

Great, new release is out now.
