Figured out how to get stephancasas script to work in Alfred by replacing part of the old workflow. 

You can download it here:  https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/burdkooqcwgb0whcy5ja3/Sidecar-JS-Command-Center-Toggle-MacOS-Sonoma.zip?rlkey=ozfmzwdnbsj67b96o31bmm6o2&dl=0

How are you using that with Alfred @stephancasas? 

ta-da!!
 
do shell script "open -b com.apple.systempreferences /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane"
use AppleScript version "2.4"
set iPadName to "iPad Pro"
tell application "System Events"
          repeat until (exists window "Displays" of application process "System Settings")
                    delay 0.1
          end repeat
          tell process "System Settings"
                    tell pop up button 1 of group 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of window "Displays"
                              click
                              delay 0.1
                              tell (last menu item of menu 1 whose name contains iPadName)
                                        click it
                             end tell
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
tell application "System Settings" to quit

To allow Unicode characters:
set the clipboard to "{query}" as text tell application "Calendar" to activate tell application "System Events" keystroke "n" using {command down} keystroke "v" using {command down} keystroke return end tell Note that we're side-stepping the text entry by simply pasting the Unicode string into the field that is already selected.

Hi, Folks!
 
  What is the best way (or possible) to add quick events to Mac calendar (or maybe to Google one) by using Alfred? I meant, using natural language... (e.g., meet with John tomorrow at 5 pm)
 
  I've found some old workflows, but they seem not to be working properly.
 
Thanks a lot,
Fabio.

@Tony DThe attached workflow should be of some use to you
 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jasi3gt243s6o4y/Open Your Zoom Meeting.alfredworkflow?dl=0
 
I have no idea how to attach a workflow to this post when the only acceptable files are images.

This is great.. is there a way to have say  `zm n` open zoom and start a meeting using my default PMI?

Seems this workflow needs to be updated both to work with Alfred 4, and to use an updated API. It's currently trying to use https://api.fixer.io, which has been deprecated. I tried setting up the new version of fixer.io's api with a free key but it still has errors.
 
I really hope this plugin gets an update - I used it quite often when it was working.

I am finding it surprisingly difficult to add a Calendar event using Alfred, and I'm disappointed this is not a native function of this app, considering Alfred's integration with other native os x apps. 
 
Can anyone recommend a current workflow for this action, suitable for the latest versions of Alfred and OS X?
 
Workflows which I have found for this action (from hamiseixas for example) are several years old and no longer function correctly. Quicksilver has long had this feature. 
 
Thank you for any advise. 
 
 

Just to let you know, {cursor} will be making it into Alfred 3, possibly even the next release  
 
Cheers,
Andrew

+1 for that
 
I used to use TextExpander for snippet expansion, and the one expansion I use the most is for git commit short messages, like:
 
git commit -m ""
 
Would love to have a way to place the cursor between the quotes after expansion

I was just working on a workflow that looks like this
 
snippet trigger > run script > copy to clipboard and paste
 
I discovered that (although the Copy to Clipboard object only mentions {date} {time} & {clipboard}) I can have the script generate text containing the {cursor} snippet & Alfred will move the cursor after pasting.  ?

I haven't installed Catalina yet (I also generally recommend against anybody installing a beta OS this early if it's their main Mac), but I have made a few tweaks for the next 4.0.2 build which should get these icons back again. I'll likely out this build tomorrow.
 
Cheers,
Andrew
