  I'm trying start a snippets menu.
  
  when i try to paste a snippet into notepad++, or notepad, etc, qap will activate either Vivaldi or directory opus before pasting.
  
  I'm using the latest version of QAP, on win10 22h2.
  
  the snippet options are pretty much default as I've not really used them till today. i can't figure how how or way qap is changing windows before pasting. 
  
  
  anything i should check??
  
  thanks
  xavier

  Hum... Same thing here... I can't see how to reproduce this issue.

  i think i figured out what i was doing wrong.... for some reason i thought clicking on an snippet menu item would paste it. apparently qap doesn't do that an i should be making snippets like that.
  
  soo.. i built a live snippet menu! it's a live folder next to my ahk script. the reads the files when clicked and then pastes the content.

  I don't know what you were doing wrong but snippets *are* pasted to the active application. 
  
  Snippet allow to send pieces of text or keystrokes to the active application using the QAP popup menu, hotstrings or keyboard shortcut. There are two types of snippets: Text snippets and Macro snippets.
  
  By default, snippets are of type Text containing characters, end-of-lines and tabs. When you select a text snippet (in the popup menu, by typing its hotstring or by hitting its shortcut), its content is sent to the active application at the current insertion point as you would do using the Windows Clipboard Paste command (although, the content of the Clipboard is not impacted by this action).
  
  The second type of snippet, Macro, is for users with some experience with scripting language. Instead of pasting the snippet to a text box or editor, QAP sends its content to the active application as keystrokes that you would type at the keyboard.
