Great. v1.2 is now released with extra snappy.

Thanks for making this very useful workflow! Version 1.2 is a nice improvement, it's much nicer to use now with increased speed.

Great. v1.2 is now released with extra snappy.

Ho ho. This is totally awesome!
 
I love that it picks up individual TTYs, and not just iTerm tabs (I tend to always run split tabs, with a shell on one side and a test server on the other).
 
So good!
 

A JXA-based workflow for Alfred 3 users to quickly switch between or close iTerm windows, tabs and panes based on title and tty, or trigger your preferred ssh workflow when no open session is found (supports both isometry/alfred-ssh and deanishe/alfred-ssh).
 
GitHub: https://github.com/isometry/alfred-tty
Latest Release: https://github.com/isometry/alfred-tty/releases/latest
Usage
Trigger the workflow with the keyword tty or via hotkey followed by some characters from the title of an open window, tab or pane; press Enter to activate the selected window/tab/pane, Alt-Enter to close it, or Cmd-Enter to trigger your ssh workflow. For example, enter tty as3 to switch to a tab with the title user@azure-server-03.
 

 
If no active terminal matches, or you use the Cmd-modifier, trigger your preferred ssh workflow, e.g. ⇄ ssh as3.
By default, the ssh workflow is assumed to be net.isometry.alfred.ssh (i.e. isometry/alfred.ssh, version 2.3+). Override by setting the ssh_workflow and ssh_trigger variables; for deanish/alfred-ssh, set the ssh_workflow variable to net.deanishe.alfred-ssh.
 

 
In order to make working with more than one window/tab/pane with the same title easier, the tty is displayed beneath the result, and can be provided as a second argument to the trigger. For example, enter tty lo 3 to select the the session with title localhost running on /dev/ttys003.
 
To select by tty alone, use two spaces between the trigger and the tty number. For example, tty  4 will select /dev/ttys004.
 
Optionally associate a hotkey trigger to further accelerate operation, e.g. Ctrl+Cmd+T, or change the trigger word via the keyword variable.
 
Combine with an iTerm2 profile configured as ssh protocol handler (e.g. Name:=$$USER$$@$$HOST$$, Command:=$$ and Schemes handled:=ssh) and an alfred-ssh workflow to make opening and jumping between remote sessions across many windows, tabs and panes easy.

Open man pages with name and section filtering.
 
The 'man' keyword exploits the x-man-page: protocol handler, so will default to opening in Terminal.app but can easily be switched to iTerm2.app. 'hman' opens pages in your default browser, and 'pman' opens PDFs in the default PDF reader.
  Download / Source
 
 
Usage
man open(1)  # open a specific page
pman style   # open a PDF of the style(9) manpage
man open     # search all sections for pages matching 'open*'
man *open    # search all sections for pages matching '*open*'
man 2 open   # search section 2 for pages with 'open' in the name
 
Enjoy.

Inspired by samvlu and MattCheetham here, I thought I'd try something a little different from my other workflows.
 
I present iTunes Movie Trailers Search with poster icons. Find a movie by title and hit enter to open the movie trailer page in your default browser.
 
Comments and pull requests welcome. Are the posters – as I suspect – a waste of time, bandwidth and space?
 
Download / Source
 
Note: initial population of the poster cache can take a few seconds, so give your first few searches time to complete.
 
Usage
trailer avenge    # "Captain America: The First Avenger" + "The Avengers"
trailer latest    # Special case: return Apple's "Just Added" listing

Others have mentioned it already, but my ssh workflow is what I've wanted from Alfred since I first lumped for a Mega Supporter license in his infancy over two years ago. As soon as I found the new Script Filter object, I knew what I had to do. Having not yet found this forum, I started by reverse engineering David's PHP-based built-in Google Suggest workflow to figure out what my Python script had to output to get a result. D'oh 
 
My pipe workflow isn't getting much love, probably because I haven't sold it very well, but I'm also using that *alot* to filter and transform text.
 
Others I currently find myself using regularly:
 - Colors by Tyler Eich
 - Create OmniFocus Tasks by Aaron B. Hockley (great for adding a todo for an item in Gmail)
 - Movies by Simon Støvring (inspiringly awesome)

Not sure people are feeling the love for this one  so I've added some built-in one-liners to try and illustrate its power. I've used it at least 5 times today already.
 
Examples include:
filtering the contents of the clipboard with grep modifying the contents of the clipboard with sed, awk or perl base64 encoding/decoding the clipboard encrypting/decrypting the clipboard with AES-256 sorting the clipboard reversing the lines in the clipboard strip blank lines from the clipboard upper/lowercasing the clipboard add line numbers to the clipboard full listing of the built-ins
