For those wanting to make this workflow, make sure to add Alfred to the "Related Apps" page, as described in the [Hotkey Trigger](https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/triggers/hotkey/) page under "Contextual Hotkeys (Related Apps)", to ensure this input is only consumed by Alfred when Alfred is in focus. Otherwise, you won't be able to input `^[` in other apps, as Alfred will consume the character in the background.
