I think Alfred is currently seen as an app launcher program by many. But the Powerpack features add a lot more and some people can get rid of other apps when using Alfred.
I like how I can replace a clipboard history app. I'm also hoping to replace a few other small utility apps, such as window arrangers, like Divvy, and a task switcher like Witch.
I'm just looking for something fairly simple, and wouldn't expect to make the above apps obsolete. Examples of how Alfred might implement these features:
- switch to next app with a keyboard shortcut (like Window's Alt-Tab or Witch's Option-Tab)
- switch to specific app by activating Alfred and typing "sw Word" to switch to Word
- snap the currently active window to left, top, right, or bottom half by typing "sn l" for snap left
I have too many one-trick pony apps (Witch, Divvy, Yoink, etc) launching at startup and would prefer one Alfred to Rule Them All.
Thanks for the lead Tyler. I'll try out the workflows for window organizers.
And the only thing about Cmd-Tab is that I'm not able to switch to a particular window in an app, so I needed to use Witch. Hoping for a good Alfred workflow that will allow me to replace it.
