SanityFox

Unfortunately that was the first thing I tried.  I ended up giving up, doing a complete uninstall, got everything out, then did a re-install, and reimported my workflows, and now it works again. So something was clearly corrupted. 

I've been using an AppleScript to launch Brave in Incognito mode and then open an URL. It had been running no problem for months, but now it's generating an error.

 

[07:34:51.988] FB[Keyword] Processing complete

[07:34:51.991] FB[Keyword] Passing output '' to Run NSAppleScript

[07:34:52.191] ERROR: FB[Run NSAppleScript] {

    NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = "System Events";

    NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple events to System Events.";

    NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "Not authorized to send Apple events to System Events.";

    NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-1743";

    NSAppleScriptErrorRange = "NSRange: {113, 46}";

I feel like there's a simple fix here, like a Monterey update broke a permission or something, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Alfred has access to automation, accessibility, etc. in security, so not sure what's going on.

I don't actually use it anymore in the same manner, because I found that every so often my password manager 1Password's autocomplete will mess up in Brave, the browser I use for Amazon and FB access, so I use a single script to launch those two websites in Brave, in Incognito mode, and I just use a keyword to launch, and then the following AppleScript.  (See photo).

If you want to access a password manager as well, then you just need to add a time delay after the AppleScript, to give the page time to load, then an AppleScript that will tab you to the correct windows, activate your hotkey for auto fill for your password manager, and hit return.  I found using Alfred's time delay and a second AppleScript more reliable than building in time delays directly into the AppleScript.

I'm not familiar with AppleScript, I just learned enough to get something to work for me, so if someone else can make better suggestions, I'm all ears.

For anyone else who finds this, there was an answer buried in another forum post about Big Sur bugs. Here's the workaround.

"If you go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, in the list on the left there should be "Input Sources". The shortcut you need to untick is in there.

If the "Input Sources" isn't shown on the left, then go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Input Sources (tab at the top) and add one, any will do. This will make the shortcut appear in the list now."

Thanks to @fearoffish for this answer.

I use CTRL+Space to open Alfred since... forever. I am running the developer Big Sur Beta on a separate machine and tried to setup my usual hotkey. It won't accept any combination hotkeys using CTRL. 

@deanishe Perfect, thank you. I was able to build out a script for two sites I wanted to always log into incognito, while also going through the tedious task of doing 2FA. Now it's all a keystroke from Alfred. Much obliged.

I have been screwing around with AppleScript in an effort to do so, but I can't seem to get the correct command for  they key combination: command \

Thanks @deanishe. Is there a way to set a work flow to launch Firefox, and the proper URL, (which I can already do),add the time delay, and then just have the workflow run the proper keystroke for activating the mini launcher?

My apologies if someone has already published this workflow, or there's an obvious answer, but searching the forums is painful and after half an hour, I haven't found what I'm looking for. 

I want to build several different workflows using 1Password and a non-default browser. For example:

keyword AMZ launches FireFox, loading amazon and filling in the login information. 

In this case, FireFox is NOT the default web browser, and I've set it to permanently launch in incognito mode. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried launching bookmarks from 1Password 7, but it doesn't seem to work. I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
