  1. @deanishe You built this simple workflow way back in 2017 with Alfred 3. I've only tried using it today but I can't seem to get it to work. I changed the Alfred Version number in the python script, but it still doesn't seem to be talking. Are you able to update that simple "Ticker / Start / Stop" workflow so it works in 2024 with Alfred 5, please? I'd love to have something like this to automate a process until I tell it to stop.
  2. This works perfectly, @Terminal. Very well done!
  3. NOTE: Responding to my own request: I will say that holding the "shift" key and using the mouse-wheel -OR- using a trackpad will work as effective workarounds to what I'm asking for.
  4. REQUEST: Alfred's Workflows environment is quite similar to the "artboard" or "canvas" that is found in graphic design programs such as Illustrator, Figma and InDesign. In those applications you can activate a "hand grabber" which allows you to slide around the artboard/canvas by dragging your mouse. It's typically the space bar that activates this tool. PROBLEM: Some of my workflows can get a little large in scope. Zooming in/out usually solves the problem, or using the scrollbars. But it'd be much easier to hold down the space bar and drag the mouse to move the canvas to the next part I want to see. This would keep my zoom level as-is and my mouse where I need it (rather than moving to the bottom of the app to slide the scroll bar).
  5. Much appreciated, @giovanni. Your non-PHP version worked perfectly for me. Kudos to you and @ibnuh. This workflow will save me a tiny bit of time every day.
  6. This worked great for me on the first try. Thanks, @deanishe.
  7. Brilliant, deanishe! This worked perfectly. If you're a beginner like I am, you might want to see the step-by-step of how I implemented it (for those who are curious). In Alfred, go into the Workflows area, click the [+] in the lower left-hand corner and select "Blank Workflow" Give your new Workflow a title (I chose "My Email Greetings") and click [Save] Right-click on the main working area (where the Alfred components go) and select: Input » Keyword Choose a proper keyword and write a title for your workflow – I chose "greetings" for the keyword and "Email Greetings and Phrases" for the title. Make sure to choose "No Argument" and click [Save] Right-click on the main working area and select: Actions » Run Script In the pop-up that appears, change the Language to /usr/bin/python as deanishe noted above Paste in deanishe's script above into the script area, making sure to remove the default 'query' content that was in the text area. Click [Save] Right-click on the main working area and select: Output » Copy to Clipboard On the pop-up window that appears, optionally check the box next to "Automatically paste into front-most app." I chose to do this so when I run my email greetings it will automatically put the text into my new email when I run the app. Click [Save] Connect the Keyword to the left side of the Run Script component Connect the right side of the Run Script component to the left side of the Copy to Clipboard component Open up a text file or email and test it out with the keyword "greetings" (or whatever you chose) If you're satisfied, then go in and change the sentences in the Run Script If you're really satisfied, buy danishe a beer using the link in his signature!
