  1. @sballin This workflow changes everything. I'm no longer debating the move from EN to Apple Notes. Thanks so much!
  2. Perfect. At some point in the past, I lost the distinction between a keyword trigger and a snippet trigger. Much appreciated!!
  3. Here's a video of nothing happening with a workflow keyword. I included a snippet keyword that shows Alfred is active. My workflow keyword is not restricted to any particular program. I guess the question is not what's wrong with this workflow but more about why aren't keyword triggers working? video (with keyboard clicks!)
  4. Debugger shows nothing at all. I tried invoking a couple of workflows. They don't respond to the keywords. Attached. Debugger shows activity when I invoke a snippet keyword. "No argument" in the keyword object. Attached. Here's a gdrive link to the shared workflow:
  5. What are your exact steps to run the keyword? What does the debugger say? type out zzz and press Enter. I have several workflows triggered by keywords and that's what's worked before Those are just overlayed on the existing connections When I hover over the delay step, it looks connected. Screenshot attached. I can post the actual .workflow file to a share drive if that's helpful. There are multiple workflows in Getting Started Screenshot attached
  6. So I just tried the workflow on a text editing program (TextEdit) and it turns out the keyword "zzz" isn't activating anything. I added 3 1-second delays and still nothing is happening. The problem is more global. None of my other keyword workflows are working, including the one delivered called "gettingstarted". I've rebooted, checked that all the workflows are enabled (right-click) and Alfred has full disc access in System Preferences. I saw this article but this shouldn't apply to a keyword workflow that I just created.I also did the Rebuild MacOS metadata in Alfred preferences. The settings for input monitoring in system preferences is also enabled for Alfred. My snippets are working and option-spacebar still brings up the Alfred input box.
  7. I've been working on this for hours with no success. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Maybe it's something to do with Gmail. Workflow attached. I have no idea why there's a "filter" circle on the connector between the keyword and the "f" key combo MacOS Ventura, MacBook, Alfred 5 Pro, Google Workspace --> gmail When I have a gmail message open, with a hotkey, I want to forward a message to a specific email address (one of my email storages) and move the cursor to the end of the subject line so I can append to the subject. I want to use the hotkey "zzz" Here's the workflow: send an "f" to set up the forwarding box in Gmail type out an email string "xxx@yyy.com" (i set this up as a copy to clipboard and then paste) send shift-tab three times to move to the twisty next to the "from email address" that is the "type of response" send down arrow three to get to the "edit subject" on the drop down Send "enter" send "cmd-right arrow" to move to the end of the subject line send "space" and then "@" so as to append "@" to the subject line Then end the workflow
  8. Thanks! I also found that the Copy to Clipboard action has a check box to also copy/paste simple text. So that plus Dispatch Key Combo solved the need. Much appreciated
  9. Alfred user for a long time here but a workflow newbie I need a workflow that is triggered with "src" sends the text "SS Reviewed" with short-form date delays 3 seconds sends to key combo CMD+W In the palette search, I don't see the item that just sends a series of keystrokes. Seems like it should be simple. ChatGPT didn't get it right, either
  10. Just upgrade to Alfred5 I have a workflow that automatically forwards an email to a specific recipient. I have everything working OK except when the workflow stops on the "To:" line in the email window. Is it possible to insert an object that sends a string of characters, like a whole email address? Also, I have that email address as a Alfred snippet. I tried inserting that in the workflow but AFAIK, the Keyword object doesn't seem to accept an input from an earlier object. This seems awfully simple. I need to insert that email string as the third object in this attached workflow (that is, after the seco nd object in this screenshot).
  11. Also requesting the bookmark feature works with Microsoft Edge Chromium. It's way better on battery life. I can now use my MacBook Pro and still have access to all my old Chrome extensions along with more time off power.
  12. I am not successful in setting up a Workflow to do this: From an open Gmail, I want to send this series of keystrokes to avoid a bunch of clicks needed to get access to the "subject line" in the forwarded email pane. I want to send these: F shift+tab x 3 down arrow x 3 Enter I designed this workflow (snip attached) to send those keystrokes when I double tap the left shift key. But it doesn't work right. Maybe it sends the keystrokes too quickly.
  13. This snippet returns a string from current year to current second. {date:yyyyMMddhhmmss} example: 20191201162013 Can it be formatted to include milliseconds? appending "mmm" or ".mmm" does not do that.
  14. Is there a way to create a shortcut to open the Snippets window directly without having to access Alfred Preferences and then select "Snippets" from the sidebar? I would like a fast way to make a selection into a snippet without having to open Preferences? A shortcut to open the Snippets window directly?
  15. Using Alfred 4 + Powerpack... I want to migrate from another text expander and keep everything in Alfred. Is there a way to require a delimiter such as a space, period, question mark, etc. in order to autoexpand a snippet? Other text expanders do that. Is there a way to create a shortcut to open the Snippets window directly without having to access Alfred Preferences and then select "Snippets" from the sidebar? I would like a fast way to make a selection into a snippet. Thanks!
  16. @vitor Thanks. Do I type something from the actual snippet or the name of the snippet? I tried both and nothing seems to happen. Thanks. @Vero Powerpack done
  17. I've been using Alfred Powerpack for months now and enjoy the snippet functionality. But I have not figured out exactly what the use case is for the "snippet keyword" as circled in the attached screenshot. What exactly does that do? I don't see an explanation in the documentation. Thanks!
