Here is a simple KM macro one can use to automate it. opt+cmd+8 in my case triggers the clipboard history search.

Alfred is too amazing. Thanks @Andrew

Very awesome. Can you please share the workflow? 💛

Actually nvm this request, KM handles the complex cases well already. Deleted Typinator finally, one less program to run. Just hope Andrew could add 😻

You mean doing it inside a workflow? If yes, then those snippets won't be searchable with Snippets Viewer I think.

If I have this snippet: If I do a search like: Nothing gets matched because Alfred only searches over snippet titles. In typinator the quick search includes both titles & content which makes it much nicer to use. It would be awesome if Alfred Snippets could support this kind of search. Probably as a separate search (perhaps there are users who only want to match on titles). Thank you.

I'd like to convert a snippet like this from Typinator: The {clip} is the current Safari URL. Also this: Will paste the current Safari tab's URL title. It would be nice to be able to do things like this from alfred snippets. Still would be nice if Alfred supported this.

Want to move from Typinator to Alfred Snippets but miss this one thing. Ability to convert selected text into a snippet instantly. Typinator provides this as a binding. When text is selected and the binding is activated, this window will show: Can I do the same with Alfred?

Let me know if you do try web searches though, would love to hear your thoughts on how I can improve it One other thing I want to add is starting off with a Searchio query powered by google and on return passing that query to web searches so you can do google powered queries on any of the websites on the internet. But that would require porting the Searchio core or submitting PR to Searchio for exposing the result in Searchio itself. Not too sure tbh

Have you tried https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-web-searches I will try to push an update for support of truly custom searches. But the idea behind the workflow is that is that it searches over a list of searches defined here (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-web-searches/blob/master/workflow/websites.csv) As example, here is a line in the csv file ` Pinboard,https://pinboard.in/search/?query={query}&all=Search+All ` Then you search for Pinboard in workflow And on return you start typing query, that query will be what will be placed in {query} exactly the same as what alfred allows. I use it all the time but didn't get to making it more user friendly to other contributions in case you don't want to use any of the 500 searches defined that come with workflow I want to allow users to have custom lists. Also now that I am typing this out, Alfred allows you to create keywords for each of the queries (forces you too actually). Would be nice to solve this use case too perhaps. The only way I see how to solve it is to generate Alfred objects in similar way that https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-searchio does. Don't see any other way. But if you do want to have many custom searches with unique keyword, workflow will get big (many objects generated) and thus slow to use. Actually never mind all that, I have a solution that doesn't require object generation. Create hotkey blocks that send a keyword like `PInboard` and the workflow will know what to do with it. Will try to solve this and let you know @chris as I believe it should solve the issue you have nicely. Alfred web searches are way too limiting and require too much friction in creating a new search. Web Searches allows creating a new search by opening a file (have it bound to km macro) and adding one line.

Thank you both @deanisheand @vitor. Got a little too excited yesterday trying to develop workflows together. And I agree, I might be a little too used to instant messaging to separate posts into one big paragraph and one message. Thanks again. Going to read AwGo fully and make sense of it. I think it should answer all the questions I have. Might try to implement a basic version of AwGo in Swift too for learning purposes. I am also developing an Alfred app for iOS that I hope to release soon. The idea is to host workflows in JSON format on the cloud and build an iOS app to search over the same Alfred JSON in a nice native iOS app experience. Ideally you could host the workflows on device but iOS is a bit more closed down than macOS to allow it so will do it this way first. I specifically want to transfer https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-web-searches and https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-my-mind to work off my iOS device as workflows.

No didn't change it.

Just rememebered. Went to https://github.com/deanishe/awgo searched `magic` and was linked to https://godoc.org/github.com/deanishe/awgo#MagicAction still trying to find what the magic keyword thingy was that I had to type. Will read more docs. Thought it would be easier as I didn't touch awgo in a while.

Dropped out. CS and education didn't go well. Was depressed for a bit due to it. Also got fired from a job 4 times because I can't program well enough. Doesn't phase me though, I still want to learn. ✨ * the 4th time was because of corona virus and https://rekki.com (app for chef and suppliers) doesn't like corona.

It makes you question your intelligence or lack of truly.

Also sorry @chrisfor making a mess of your nice question. Hope everyone has a great weekend. ✨

tl;dr A menu bar action `Copy bundle id` would be great to have.

Opened this.

I can avoid needing this feature if there was a way to know which Alfred workflow am I currently looking at in Alfred Preferences. So if I have this open: I can run some applescript and it will return me its bundle id (nikivi.mind in above case). And then I can with Keyboard Maestro macro open instantly its debugger log in my preferred editor or Console which would be amazing. 😻

Trying to take screenshots I also came across some weird UI things due to Big Sur.

Trying to open it with Alfred itself and then trying to remember to find the unique identifier to know which directory it is.

Either as one of the options here Or in UI

In any way, I did ask earnestly and I think the end result will be best to everyone in Alfred community. All I want is to know how to develop workflows in go as I think it's missing. I want to write that doc but don't know yet how..

Ok I thought so. I'll make some tooling or something to make this process of opening the right thing easier. This whole thing is still unclear to me and you still don't want to share your secrets of developing workflows. You write go code, run `modd` which watches go files and compiles workflow on change. Then you open the debugger in your editor (by going to Finder and opening it from there or you have nicer tooling for it). Don't be so dismissive. Some people genuinely do ask for help and don't know what's better. I know how to google things and still get stuck.
