Sorry to hijack the thread. But I've been thinking of setting up my own service to share downloads to stuff off my own server. Can you share how you setup your workflow for it? I know your personal site is generated with Hugo and your downloads are links coming off your domain. Thank you.

There is no need for applescript as there is a global hot key to start recording.

Mine is set to this: For similar reason as @vitor. GraphQL servers use cmd + space to get suggestions. I never press those keys though so I activate Alfred by either pressing j and l keys together or with a single press of right command (configured with Karabiner). Although I don't often activate Alfred alone as I have everything bound to an external trigger with Karabiner. I really dislike the overhead of keywords and want to activate my stuff fast. Maybe it works for you too. Although it probably is not as common to do it this way. 🙂

Or using Google Engine suggestions to pass the query to Google's autocomplete visualizer. Holy shit this is exciting.

That's fine too. Python is easy to read. And you have awesome comments. 🙂

In fact I think what would be awesome is to use my Web Searches workflow to let users customize custom searches driven by some engine. Either on default result or on modifiers. Through the settings, like what Search has with Installed Searches ... to list all current filters. On return of any of the results let user pick through return, alt, opt, cmd, fn, shift and then on return of those show up Web Searches prompt of all the different searches to map to. With ability to add a custom search if none of the searches you want satisfy you. (Of course user can also extend Web Searches database optionally too). That would be pretty cool I think and it's already written in Go. I might try to read through all of Searchio code and extract all the relevant parts I need to try make this work. If I will need to rewrite Searchio for this, so be it.

By default you add a search engine that will as default result on activating suggestions run the query on the engine's website. Just like what Searchio does now. What makes Searchio unique is the suggestions. The version I am thinking of building looks and works exactly like Searchio does now but has ability to customize outputs of searches to custom URLs. Not sure how that would work Alfred wise but I believe it should be possible.

I do think that is a superior way than what Searchio provides currently. This way it is a lot more flexible and can achieve everything current Searchio achieves too.

It does. i.e. cmd + return on YouTube search filter to make a search for past month on YouTube. I see many more cases where I want to scope my search to a certain filter but reuse the suggestions powered by Searchio. Although Google Lucky search is most crucial of them all.

I will try to rewrite Searchio myself with a different data model. I also wanted to include a small portion of Searchio code in my Web Searches workflow to use Google powered suggestions queries to search any website on the net. (MIT license allows me to do it if I mention where I got the code from). But rewriting Searchio should be a learning experience. Might do it in OCaml too as I've been learning it. Makes perfect sense. Thank you for your help and time.

@deanishe Can you help with guiding me on how I can customize Searchio to do customized searches on modifier key presses? i.e. doing Google Lucky search on Google script filter with alt+return? I haven't touched Go in quite a bit of time and would literally do anything to get this feature working in Searchio.

@dfay I answered it on the thread.

Programming isn't for me. Apologize for asking for help @deanishe

Going to try it. I thought about it for few minutes and tried building the workflow but had some problems developing it. p.s. I also like asking questions I guess. Bad habit.

To expand on this. I believe you can get the query with {query} inside the actual script filter. But I want to get this {query} variable inside Go code in some way.

I want to modify Searchio workflow so that if I press cmd key + return on any of the results, it would search what I typed into Alfred on Google/YouTube/.. So if I press cmd + return on alfred sickert result, it would instead of searching alfred sickert make a query on what I typed in Alfred (alfred is sick in this case). Thus saving me a keystroke of up arrow and return (where current fallback query is placed in Searchio). From what I understand, this is impossible to achieve due to Alfred not providing this information. Or I am wrong? If I am wrong. I would like to move this thread to feature requests as I really wish this feature existed. Thank you.

Or Karabiner bindings. ?

I am a bit confused how do I invoke this CFBundleDocumentTypes on an app from CLI. The other strange thing is that these JS/TS/.d.ts files have the proper kind show in Get Info. But Alfred Metadata shows them to have public.folder. Although File Type is probably different to Kind.

Another option that I personally use (don't have many text triggered expansions) is searching through expansions you need. I have bad memory for things that I don't use often so text expansions outside of ones like (:s or :d to expand my current Safari URL or embed URL into a markdown image) are going to be forgotten and not used. So I use Typinator's smart search which (in my experience) after few typed characters always knows the trigger I want to expand. This way I don't have to remember the triggers as I get visual feedback for what the triggers I have by typing few characters from the expanded result. Looks like this:

How do I do this? I tried googling it but got no results. check if app is assigning extension macos was query I ran. My ~/Applications is empty

I've done that. But got quite a lot of results. If I understand correctly, I'd have to delete Ulysses/Preview/Flume/Mail? Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

Didn't help sadly: The file types are all still public.folder. /Users/nikivi/src/orgs/learn-anything/learn-anything/frontend/node_modules/reason-apollo/lib/bs/src/ApolloClient.mlast.d Internal File Metadata ====================== Display Name: ApolloClient.mlast.d Alt Names: File Type: public.folder Comments: Keywords: Last Used: Raw mdls File Metadata ====================== Is the only other solution to format my disk?

Anyone knows what else one can do to try fix this?

Restarting mac didn't work too ?

Ran the above command. File types of JS,TS/.d.ts are still public.folder
