    My issue is... I search for something mainly because I don't know where it is. If I KNEW it was in notes, it would be easy to find. But I don't necessarily know. That's why it's important to return Notes hits in the default search results. Which is why I'm going to switch from using Alfred for search back to Spotlight. To me, a search is a little useless if I already know where the data is.

     

    This is exactly what i feel. And no Alfred is not a "Launcher" in my opinion. no one uses Alfred as "just a Launcher".

    Also, about:

    @quikatb The file type and the search scope would both be required, but I'd recommend against it. It's likely to make your results unnecessarily noisy if there are more than a few notes in there. :)

    I Think you can let the user choose how "noisy" or not he want's he's search results to be, just like you do with other file types, like this:

    I'm also switching to spotlight again, because is a very main thing in my searching workflow, and it's really

    disappointing that Alfred doesn't support it. i think it's really should be added.

     

     

  2. If I use a keyword element in my workflow.

    and use (for example) the keyword "pure css triangle"

    and set it to "no argument,

    Then when I search Alfred for "pure" I will see

    this workflow in the results.

     

    But if I will type "css" or "triangle" in Alfred I won't see it in the results.

     

    I think it really should be showing in the results when you type a part of

    a keyword and not necessarily  the beginning of the keyword.

     

    People who use workflows usually use a lot of them and can't remember

    the exact keyword they set.

  3. Hi there i have a workflow where a hotkey would trigger the "Keyword" input and the pass the argument into a var utility and set "title" var to the current query.

     

    In the end i have an alfred script which will post to wordpress self hosted blog.

     

    I have tried this:

    on alfred_script(q)
    	set myBlogUsername to "myusername"
    	set myBlogPass to "mypassword"
    	set poststrut to {post_type:"post", post_status:"publish", post_format:"status", post_title:"{var:title}", post_content:"test"}	
    	tell application "https://myblogdomain.com//xmlrpc.php"
    		set myPosts to call xmlrpc {method name:"wp.newPost", parameters:{"1", myBlogUsername, myBlogPass, poststrut}}
    		return  myPosts				
    	end tell
    end alfred_script

    But it won't pass the var, just use it as a string. i also tried {$title} and ${title}...

  4. I have the option to not use the function keys, so my F1-F12 are used as regular keys

    and i have a lot of workflows assigned to those keys.

     

    For some reason i can't assign F11 and F12.

     

    I have checked in the system preferences that those are not assigned to any other process.

     

    If it matters: I use latest Alfred version and macbook air with BigSur.

    @Benben Ah I misinterpreted what you meant by "quickly search (not auto expand text)"

     

    I actually have a ticket for adding the Workflow Snippet Trigger results to both the Snippet Viewer, and the snip keyword... which I believe would satisfy what you're looking for.

     

    you mean that any workflow that starts with a snippet trigger will show in the snippets viwer?

     

    If that's the case, i guess this will solve my problem :) is it planned to be any time soon?

  6. Btw - just to explain my goal:

     

    I code.

     

    I love using snippets. But i also love using advanced snippets (workflows).

     

    I want to be able to quickly search (not auto expand text) my snippets and my advanced snippets (workflows),

    in one place.

     

    For now, i can search snippets in one place and the advanced snippets (workflows) in another,

    and it's very inconvenient when you have a lot of snippets (and advanced snippets).

     

     

  7. I want to use this script:

    Quote

     

    tell application "Finder"

    set top_folder to (choose folder)

    repeat with this_folder in (get folders of top_folder)

    move every item of this_folder to top_folder

    end repeat

    end tell

     

     

    But instead of "choose folder" just auto use the current selected folder.

     

    How can i do that?

     

    "get selection" doesn't work.

  8. When i use Hotkey trigger and choose the Argument "Selection in macOS"

    It passes the selected text to next action - which is great! that's what i want.

     

    But then i want to be able to past the clipboard content to input in that workflow,

    but i can't, because the clipboard content becomes the selected text.

     

    How can i pass the selected text without loosing the clipboard content?

     

    Thanks!

    Ben
