Web searches: how to query multiple queries at one.
politicus replied to politicus's topic in Discussion & Help
Yes, I did I even tried the workflows. The output will then contain the list of variables you've just created I do not know how to work with the variables I get from the split action. Here is what I get from the debug : [20:32:39.148] Multiple queries at once[Keyword] Processing complete [20:32:39.149] Multiple queries at once[Keyword] Passing output 'google,yahoo,bing' to Split Arg to Vars [20:32:39.149] Multiple queries at once[Split Arg to Vars] Processing complete [20:32:39.150] Multiple queries at once[Split Arg to Vars] Passing output 'google,yahoo,bing' to Debug [20:32:39.151] Multiple queries at once[Debug] 'google,yahoo,bing', { var1 = "google" var2 = "yahoo" var3 = "bing" } [20:32:39.151] Multiple queries at once[Debug] Processing complete [20:32:39.152] Multiple queries at once[Debug] Passing output 'google,yahoo,bing' to Open URL -
Web searches: how to query multiple queries at one.

Thanks @deanishe That makes sense. I do not understand how I can "add" my input to the URL. Here is my workflow : https://ufile.io/7ixxc19t (file will be deleted in 30 days). -
(As I am not sure if it is already possible, I post this thread here and not in Alfred features suggestions). I was thinking about web searches found cool how easy it is to create them. One url + {query}. Done. I was wondering if it was possible to perform multiple queries at once. For example typing the following in Alfred's bar: one web searches keyword + {query1}+{query2}+{query3}. with the alexa.com web search I sat it would give : sale keyboardmaestro.com,alfredapp.com,google.com It would open 3 tabs with the result of each query. Maybe there are other way to do it. I am just trying to find a way not to have to perform the same task three times.

Automating Alfred Preferences with KM palettes

Thanks. Your answer on Keyboard Maestro forum led me to the nice macros to build workflows faster π -
Automating Alfred Preferences with KM palettes
politicus replied to nikivi's topic in Workflow Help & Questions
Feels like the best of both Alfred and KM! Would love to use as I tried to create such collection of macros but as you are a more advanced than I was when I created them I prefer to use yours. Unfortunately the link is broken and I can't find it in your github repository. -
I am trying to build a workflow that will let me appends text (clipboard content + a few words I write in Alfred bar) to a file. Using the Hotkey action, I can show the content copied to the clipboard and add a few words. But I fail at appending this content (few words + macOS Clipboard Contents) to a text file. Here is the workflow: https://ufile.io/w91ucvzn (link will disappear in 30 days). Thank you!

How to use web searches in a list filter?

Thank you very much. That looks amazing ! -
How to use web searches in a list filter?
politicus replied to politicus's topic in Discussion & Help
It is pretty simple. I sat many web searches long time ago a realised few days ago that I only knew a few of their keywords. Being able to use many web searches I wanted while having to remember only one keyword seemed to be amazing and maybe too good to be true. π Thanks for your explanation. I think I get the idea. I still do not get how should I link the Keyword/Arg and Vars? Because while I have an argument from the list filter, I need to find a way to fill the {query} variable to perform a query. Do you know any other workflow that use the action arg and vars ? Thank you. -
How to use web searches in a list filter?
politicus replied to politicus's topic in Discussion & Help
Thanks @deanishe ! You're right built-in web searches are way easier to use. -
Here is the (more or less) user experience I am looking for: - I type the keyword of my "List Filter" in Alfred bar - A few "Titles" of my "List Filter" appear - I select the "Title" of the website I want to search in by typing Enter - I type my query, for example "mkdir" - I hit Enter - The webpage containing the results from the website I searched in opens in my default browser. For example, if I searched in computerhope.com, this webpage will have the following url https://www.computerhope.com/search2.htm?q=mkdir With a "Keyword" trigger, the argument I type is passed as {query}. How to do the same thing with a List Filter? Here is the workflow: https://ufile.io/5whiwesp (link will expire in 29 days). Thank you.

List filter: diplay titles and subtitles variables
politicus replied to politicus's topic in Workflow Help & Questions
Ok. Thanks @vitor . -
@deanishe : ok, good to know. @vitor : Thanks for the tip π @Andrew : Can't wait for the next update!

I wanted to find the keyboard shortcut of one of my workflow (a very simple workflow that launches the Keyboard Maestro application). So I typed "?keyboard" in Alfred search bar but no sign of the workflow I was looking for. Adding a note containing "Keyboard Maestro" to the workflow didn't help.

Option to hide fallback searches.
politicus replied to politicus's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
@Vero I feel so stupid I didn't look at this option in the settings before asking the question. In my mind, I had looked at this setting loooooong time ago and it was not an option I EVER could be interested in. So I didn't before asking the question. π You are right, it make sense to let the user set to their own preference, not the workflow creator. -
Here are the results of a translation of the word "food" from English to German. In short, the workflow is fired via the keyword "dl". You then type what you want to translate + ".', hit enter and wait for the translations to appear. I would like to be able to add "Essen", "Lebensmittel", "Nahrung", "Narhungsmittel" to Alfred's buffer (to copy them to the clipboard) the same way I can add files to the buffer using a modifier key. Now, if I want to add these four results to the clipboard, I need to perform four queries.

I would like to be able to hide Alfred fallback searches so it does not confuse the user with the results of a workflow query. First example: DeepL-Translate (results of the translation of the word "food" from EN to DE). Readability is not optimal. Second example : A workflow by Tyler Eich that displays applications, operating system versions. No fallback search is displayed. Better readability according to me π

Search Alfred Preferences from Alfred search Bar.
politicus replied to politicus's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
Ok. Got it. (I tried but didn't find a way to search by keyword this morning because I had the great idea to create a workflow with a ? as a keyword... Stupid me.) In order no other user waste his time, the right way to search Web searches by keyword is "?NameOfTheKeyword". No space needed between ? and the keyword. -
Search Alfred Preferences from Alfred search Bar.

Are web searches searchable. Doesn't look like they are. π Would be super useful when want to check the keyword of one web search. -
Clipboard append with custom character
politicus replied to Croy9000's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
My use case is I want to append English words I find on the Internet and their definitions to a .csv file. In practice, it would mean: - copying the word in the clipboard - copying and merging it with its definition - append word and its definition to a .csv file - import this file in quizlet (a flashcard application) The problem I have is quizlet forces me to use commas as a delimiter so it recognize what is the word and what is the definition. Plus, so many times words and definitions are made of more than one word. So +1000 to @vitor answer. -

All is working like a charm. One more feature I will use every day ! Any other hidden gems ? π -
Search Alfred Preferences from Alfred search Bar.
politicus replied to politicus's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
When I type "?features" in Alfred Search Bar and hit enter Alfred Preferences is launched. But I can't search any query as "Features" disappears as I type an argument. -
