I currently use the single step workflow, created using Add Workflow (+) -> Templates -> Show Alfred -> Show Alfred with selected text. My changes to this was to change cursor position to 'left' and a custom hotkey. Based on your suggestion, I modified the action in it from "Show Alfred" to "Pass through to workflow". Indeed I was able to add a Trim Whitespace as the next step. However, for step 3, I can't add a "Show Alfred". Closest is "Browse in Alfred" which is not useful in this context. I'm probably missing the obvious, how can I get a "show alfred" as the last step with the selected text?
