> so I made a shortcut for it: ctrl-opt-cmd-v. As Chris pointed out the keystrokes from QS are indistinguishable from the ones from the keyboard. If you have your trigger set to activate on release QS will wait until you release the v key but not the modifier keys. The target application will see the keystrokes coming from QS and the modifier keys you are still holding. It will interpret it as a series of ctrl-opt-cmd shortcuts.
The easiest thing to do would be to add a delay in your trigger setup. This would give you time to release the modifier keys before the action starts.
