Alfred text expander not working properly

See original GitHub issue

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

  • OS version and name: macOS Sierra 10.12.4

  • Hyper.app version: 1.3.3.1754

  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: ?

Issue

Alfreds Snippet/Text Expander doesn’t work within Hyper. I have ;gs as a shortcut to replace with git status and it doesn’t work within Hyper. The replacing sound plays, but it just leaves it blank. If I try 5-7 times it might work one of those times, but likely I have to manually type. I’m not sure if other text expander apps like aText and Text Expander work, but Alfred Snippets does not at least.

Since the release of 1.4 aText Snippet/Text Expander not longer works in hyper. aText works fine in other apps and pasting text into hyper with cmd+v works fine. The snippet fires and is deleted and it makes its replacement noise but the replacement text is not inserted.

Text Expander itself isn’t working for me either. (macOS 10.13.4)
