Thanks Vitor.
I tried what I saw in the picture, but no luck.
I think my script block is ok.
I have "tell application Alfred 3 to search show_time and I see the words "show_time" pop up in Alfred when i hit the assigned keystroke, so that part is working.
The next line does a command-shift left arrow, selecting all the text. I don't need that so I removed it.
What I'm not understanding is, how do I get the actual time to display, in the screenshots on that post it looks like the person who asked the question got a region to display right under alfred - how is that done?
Also in the filter, I see where it /might/ be pulling the time command from the command line, but since I'm not seeing any output, I'm not sure if that's working.
Thanks Vitor!
