Description
 
 
This Alfred workflow allows you to create new backlog issues in your Linear project management workspace directly from Alfred.  Quickly capture ideas, tasks, or bug reports as Linear issues without leaving your current context or switching between apps.
 
To use the workflow, simply invoke Alfred and type the designated keyword, which is "li" by default, followed by the title of the issue you want to create.
 
For example, typing "li Implement new login flow" will instantly create a new backlog issue titled "Implement new login flow" in your specified Linear team.
 
By integrating Linear with Alfred, this workflow eliminates the need to switch between apps or browser tabs, saving you valuable time and boosting your productivity. Instead of navigating to the Linear web app and manually creating issues, you can capture your ideas and action items as they arise, without disrupting your current workflow.
Whether you're a developer, project manager, or anyone who uses Linear for task management, this Alfred workflow is a game-changer. It streamlines your issue creation process, reduces context switching, and helps you stay focused on your work while ensuring that important tasks and ideas are promptly captured and organized in your Linear backlog.

@nano5 To me, it looks like the contents of a Sudoku game being copied to clipboard. Are you playing Sudoku on any of your devices?

Yep, I can definitely add some font size options in the Text View config.
 
The Font menu on the popup shouldn't be there (as it's plain text), I'll remove that in the next build.

Low-vision accessibility keyboards were the inspiration for this theme!
 
Whether its tired eyes or a wired mind, I've found the extra width, bigger text, and bold coloring to really help both visual and mental focus throughout the day.
 
Check it out: XL High-Contrast Theme
 

Note: You'll likely have to adjust the font to get the theme to look like the attached image. 
 

Thanks that helped get me on the right track. As an aside, for anyone else looking to do something similar pay close attention to the quote requirements. In order for the variables to be read properly in this case you must use double quotes to encircle the entire value and then single quotes around the variable (if there's no spaces you can leave it at that
{"name": "'$split1'"} , but if there are spaces you need to add another set of double quotes inside the single quotes like this: 
split1 = "John posted a tweet" {"name": "'"$split1"'"}  

 
 

Thanks for making this amazing workflow.
There was one thing I was uncomfortable with using this workflow. Works well when looking for notion documents written in English. However, the search for titles written in Korean did not work properly. I'm guessing it's probably an encoding issue.
Can anyone help me improve this workflow to work well for non-English documents?

@michbsd Please don’t post in multiple places. That makes the conversation more difficult for everyone, including people coming after.
 
@Smpl Technically it’s not using Homebrew, it’s using pyenv. But the reason is the same: installations are self-contained and don’t affect anything else on your system. If you ever decide you no longer want Python 2, you delete ~/.pyenv and the symlink and you’re good to go. In contrast, the download provided on Python’s website is a PKG installer which can do anything and will leave you with receipts. Plus, they don’t provide a v2 installer for Apple Silicon.

That is not correct. You have to follow the whole guide and you’ll end up with Python in the correct location—which depends on your CPU architecture—to be used by these updated Workflows.
 
 
No, don’t do that! There is a reason macOS stops you and the guide doesn’t suggest it: so you don’t shoot yourself in the foot. Even if you got it to work by forcing it, you’d be introducing things in a way macOS doesn’t expect and could mess up unrelated apps on your system.
 
 
That won’t work either. You’re only considering Python installations via Homebrew on Apple Silicon, which ignores a huge percentage of users. Plus, it wouldn’t fix cases where the whole path isn’t included.
 
 
The current guide and workaround are good. This was not a rush job, it has been in place and working for weeks. It was thought out and tested to be the most efficient and simple way to provide a working installation for most people.
 
 
That is also incorrect. It’s fine that you don’t know these things, we all have to learn, but please don’t confuse users. If you don’t know, it’s harmful to others to contradict the official instructions. Those have been studied, tested, and improved from a thorough understanding of the problem.

https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-appscripts. - pls post an update for this. General guidelines on how to fix Python2 issue would be great. thanks in advance
 

@mochiguy I use this one now instead - works perfectly aside from the fact it seems to be missing a few emoji.

With macOS Monterey 12.3, Apple removed the bundled Python 2 interpreter. That means older Workflows dependent on Python 2 will no longer work without modification.

You can reinstall Python 2, but some Workflows will still require a tweak to work. It’s simple enough to do if you know what to look for, but not everyone does. The Updated Third-Party Python 2 Workflows repository on GitHub is meant to close that gap.

Check the list of available Workflows. If the one you need isn’t present, ask for it there or as a reply on this thread. Be sure to include a link to the original.
 
Note this is only for Python 2 Workflows which break on Monterey 12.3 and above due to the Python 2 removal. If a Workflow stops working for any other reason, contact the author as usual.

It was working like a charm on Alfred 4 over the past several months – until today. Finally updated to macOS Monterey last night, and that seems to have broken it. 

Log throws out the following: 
Code 126: /Users/goldfish/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/Workflow Scripts/100A1AA1-3884-4F6B-92C9-6B59DE8CD8E9: ./isyn: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory  
REALLY hope I can get this working again – this workflow is so powerful, and saves me so much time...
 
[EDIT]: Ok. So, clearly I've been living under a rock. Did not realise that Python 2(.7?) was no longer part of macOS Monterey – and seemingly needs to replaced with Python 3 as the "new" default. And, assuming I understand things correctly, the above error log is simply saying that the /isyn workflow was trying to find usr/bin/python at its usual location – but now nothing is there, hence the error. 

So I presumably have to "simply" install Python 3 in the /usr/bin/python directory, and all should go back to working as before?
Which means –– I need to spend time working through this thread! Yay me! 

IIRC, Alfred only supports escapes like \n and \t in the regex field, but not the replacement field. You have to paste a literal linebreak (tab character etc.) in there instead.

One of the few things on my Mac that I can't do with Alfred commands is UPDATE ALFRED. Would be awesome if, when I saw the "update available" notification in my window, I could just type "Alfred > Update and Restart" or something. 
 
Please make it so. 

I installed the latest beta version of iTerm 2 (Build 3.3.5beta1), and now my modified version of @Andrew's custom script isn't working. I think the only thing I changed was line 9 [set onlywindow to false], and this made my query always open in a new tab in iTerm. But now it seems, I get a new tab, but my query doesn't make it there. Maybe I just need to incorporate a pause or something? It feels like it's just moving too quickly for the new tab to keep up.
 
Prior to this new beta version, the new tab method was working well.
on alfred_script(q) if application "iTerm2" is running or application "iTerm" is running then run script " on run {q} tell application \"iTerm\" activate try select first window set onlywindow to false on error create window with default profile select first window set onlywindow to true end try tell the first window if onlywindow is false then create tab with default profile end if tell current session to write text q end tell end tell end run " with parameters {q} else run script " on run {q} tell application \"iTerm\" activate try select first window on error create window with default profile select first window end try tell the first window tell current session to write text q end tell end tell end run " with parameters {q} end if end alfred_script  

Hey, yes will definitely be adding this at some point! Just need to find some time to start on it 😁.

The only thing stopping me from being too urgent about it, is the fact you need to be an admin in your workspace in order to use the Notion API.

Do you use this tool for your personal notion workspace or for your work's notion workspace? Or both? Unless you're admin for your works notion workplace, you won't be able to use the Notion API for that anyway.

Notion say they will improve the authentication process, so you don't have to be an admin to use it, in the future, which I think will be key for a lot of people's use.

@Mr Pennyworth To find URL schemes supported by an app, reading the ${app_path}/Contents/Info.plist file and looking for CFBundleURLSchemes tag if often enough. Or doing /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'print :CFBundleURLTypes' "${app_path}/Contents/Info.plist".

But I think you’ll like this more: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -dump URLSchemeBinding. It shows every available URL scheme (on your machine).

As to how to use them, that’s the job of the developer’s documentation.

Bing is not free. There's a much higher limit to the free tier (1000/month), but that's still not a huge amount.

For the Dark Sky fans among us (who registered for the API before apple took over), here's a folder with dark sky's weather icons, with names matched for the weather workflow:
https://gofile.io/d/VCsvQa
Click on the workflow, open in finder -> icons and unzip the folder.
Then, select it via the Alfred search bar, WTO keyword, icons option -> dark sky.
 
 
 

Happy to kick off 2021 with a new workflow to quickly access Instagram's web features. It's not very clever but it just speeds up the way I access parts of Instagram.
 
Supports keywords like @, #, dms, my, and download.

Had to remake it from scratch. Ugly but it works. Here you go.

Day--mhn... !
 
Alfred 4.1 Pre-release
Build 1163, Monday 22nd June 2020
Workflow Changes
• Workflow editor rendering tweaks to significantly improve the UI performance with very large and complex workflows
• Updated Workflow Objects
• Hotkey Trigger
• The same hotkey combination can now be shared across multiple triggers matching different conditions
• Added navigation to related hotkeys on the contextual popup menu for a hotkey trigger in the workflow editor
• Prioritisation of shared hotkey to run, with the following priority:
• In Focus match takes highest priority, e.g. Hotkey only when Safari in focus
• Not in Focus takes secondary priority, e.g. Hotkey only when Spotify not in focus
• Falls back to hotkey with no app specific focus configured
• Hints shown in orange if a shared hotkey combination is in use
• Hotkey Trigger object key combo background changes
• Subtext under the hotkey field updates with warning
• Show subtle grey background behind application icons on Hotkey Object in workflow editor where hotkey focus mode is set to "don't have focus" 
• Copy and Paste of object (or object configuration) now also retains the hotkey combo
• Note that this will naturally create a conflict which you will have to manually resolve
• Script Filter Input
• Fix Run Behaviour sheet "Reset to Defaults" button to also reset the "Argument" section
• Copy to Clipboard Output
• Fixed to now correctly use clipboardtextrtf property from passed-in JSON config
• Reorganise internal logic to enable plain text clipboard output to be derived from passed-in RTF from JSON config
• Only save either clipboardtext or clipboardtextrtf into the configuration
• Fixes automatic {cursor} positioning with mismatching rtf / plain text
• Arg / Var Utility
• Fix the Arg/Var Utility to correctly pass through array of strings if argument is set to {query}, e.g. a list of files

• External trigger identifiers can now be directly set on external objects
• Conflicts are now checked between the External Trigger object, and any external identifiers set
• You now have control over how a downstream input object presents its results between Direct and Keyword modes
• Direct mode is the previous behaviour, where the input icon is placed to the right hand side and you see no keyword
• Keyword mode places the input into Alfred's default results and sets it as unique (same as pressing return on a placeholder)
• Workflow objects represent the presence of an external identifier with small hint on object input in Workflow editor
• Double click the hint for faster subsequent access to the inbound configuration
• The icon for both External Trigger and Call External have been tweaked to match the new hint
• Fix internal variable types in workflow editor framework
• Added "Filter Workflows by..." on the popup menu for workflow objects in the canvas for hotkeys and keywords
• Makes it easier to find workflows with similar hotkeys and keywords
• Standardise how an array of arguments is shown in the workflow debugger
• Improve various subtexts throughout the workflow object configuration sheets
Snippets and Clipboard
• Snippets can now embed other snippets using the {snippets:} placeholder

• Note that nesting is only one level deep
• Added a "Copy Placeholder" on the popup menu for a selected snippet to copy the relevant {snippet:} placeholder
• Improve text placeholder framework
• Improved processing efficiency by deriving plain text content from already-processed rich text content where applicable
• more consistent behaviour between clipboard objects

Troubleshooting
• Start process of adding interactive troubleshooting built into Alfred's Help preferences to aid fixing common issues
• Also add help links to key troubleshooting help pages
• Troubleshooting is written to a Report file, for easy emailing and subsequent support
• File Search
• Run a number of diagnostic checks on a dragged in file to work out why it isn't being found
General fixes and improvements
• Fix Alfred using (and consuming) up/down key events when IME panel is showing (e.g. Pinyin selection panel)
• Note that this fix is more of a "workaround" to a lack of Public API to officially support this
• Recognise full width space U+3000 as an activator for Alfred's quick file search mode
• Show Base32 decoded data wherever dyn.a UTI types are seen, to give better idea of content

• Show "x+ items" to top left of Buffer when the number of visible items exceeds the available visible space
• Correctly re-draw the buffer when additional items are added and removed beyond the visible window width
• Add a - button to delete selected custom web searches in the Web Search preferences
• Show version number for Application bundles in preview panels (e.g. file system navigation, action panel)
• Improve VoiceOver accessibility for hotkey fields, now correctly reads newly inputted hotkey
