22:44:11 [debg:albert] Checking for a running instance…
22:44:11 [info:albert] There is another instance of albert running.

Current Behavior

I have a one line snippet:

 ❯ wc -l  ~/.config/albert/snippets/tailscale\ net.txt
1 /home/rsyring/.config/albert/snippets/tailscale net.txt

But when selecting the snippet in albert and pasting it, I get a newline at the end.

Expected Behavior

I'd expect to get the exact content of the snippet instead of the content plus a newline.

Anything else?

No response

Okay i dont know how this happened. I did not close this one intentionally.

However did you check if your files really dont contain newlines (eg using xxd)?

I struggle to find an editor that does not do some auto formation before saving

[ManuelSchneid3r]

Found out that binary vim (vim -b) and :set noeol helps

[rsyring]

You are right, there was a newline in the snippet file even though I tried two different methods to save the file without adding a newline. :)

Sorry for the noise.
