Something broke my quicklook's preview copy shortcut and now when I have a document in preview and select text, hitting cmd+c plays the error sound and the text does not get copied. I can still copy from the right click context menu or if I go in the menu edit > copy. I think it may be due to Raycast, but turning it off and rebooting did not fix the issue... Neither did qlmanage -r cache, nor a multitude of changes in com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection Anyone have any other suggestions? Edit: I have talked with a few friends and can confirm this is **not** due to Raycast, as I had three people who do not use it, or any other clipboard manager, tell me they have the same issue. Is it a macOS 15.2 bug? Update: I checked and found that the files that not all files have an issue, specifically .txt, .rtf and .pdf have no issue, however, .docx, .pages, .csv, .numbers, .md and pretty much anything else does. I think it might be an issue office/iWork and quicklook, so I did a qlmanage -p on a docx. And I did indeed got some errors:
qlmanage[7015:63047] NetworkStorageDB:_openDBReadConnections: failed to open read connection to DB @ ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.quicklook.qlmanage/Cache.db.  Error=14. Cause=unable to open database file

(I removed the timestamps and abbreviated the User path to ~) Needless to say this does not happen when I call the same command on a pdf
