Thanks!!

I want to send keystrokes to OBS Studio to switch scenes. Is this possible?

set hostnames to {"pi@host1.local", "pi@host2.local", "pi@host3.local", "pi@host4.local", "pi@host5.local", "-p 12345 gregorio@host12"}

if application "iTerm" is running then
        tell application "iTerm"
                create window with default profile
                tell current tab of current window
                        select
                        tell current session

                                -- make the window fullscreen
                                tell application "System Events" to key code 36 using command down
                                split horizontally with default profile

                                set num_hosts to count of hostnames
                                repeat with n from 1 to num_hosts
                                        if n - 1 is (round (num_hosts / 2)) then
                                                -- move to lower split
                                                tell application "System Events" to keystroke "]" using command down
                                        else if n > 1 then
                                                -- split vertically
                                                tell application "System Events" to keystroke "d" using command down
                                        end if
                                        delay 1
                                        write text "ssh " & (item n of hostnames)
                                end repeat
                        end tell
                end tell
        end tell
else
        activate application "iTerm"

end if

Cool! Thanks!!

Yes, please. Configurable.

With all these outside resources, there's no need to add it to Alfred, but create the proper workflow for you using the other tools. That's where you get the real power of Alfred. Not a single, mega program that does everything. The Unix philosophy is many small, one purpose programs working together.

Yeah, as you can read in the message above, i like one tool that does all instead of learning all kinds of different tools that only do one thing (and now you are going to tell me "and do that one thing right").

@vitor Thanks! I will look in to that. I would like Alfred to be the goto app for all Mac automation. This instead of an app for search, an app for workflows, an app for tiling, an app for macros, etc.

I am now using Rectangle but if Alfred works equally well then Rectangle must go. 

Edit: Div is cool! Just what i was looking for.

This. A window tiling feature would be a nice to have. 

Use case:

I am copying and pasting text in an editor, website input field or something like that.

I want to modify/delete/add the first x characters on every line.

Run the macro x amount of time.

Optionally save the macro. Only optionally because the chance that i have to do that same thing again in exactly the same way and in the same application is very small.

Building a workflow for this with a Key Mapping is a bit cumbersome fort this one time i need to do this. But..., i do this repetitive work a lot, just not always the same way, the same text, the same modifications in the same applications.

So ideally i would like to have a hotkey that starts recording keystrokes (typing the word "record" in Alfred would also do this), key strokes are recorded until i press the hot key again.

Maybe it already exists. If so, please point me in the right direction to achieve this.n the 

Thanks,

Ton.

If the application offers a proper API to achieve what it is you're trying to do, that is always a better, more reliable option. And vim does.

Many applications don't. Please, enlighten me on the idea why it is possible to send one keystroke from Alfred, but not multiple (a string).

How about if i want to send a URL to an already open browser? Or a string to a text input box in an application? That's the same use case, IMHO.

I have a simple question. I want to send a URL to a browser. Or a string to an already active input box in an application. How do i do this? The only thing i can find is Key Combo which sends only one key. I want to send a string.

Ah, and the Open URL doesn't work for me because i want to send the URL to an already open browser.

It seems such a simple operation, but i cannot figure out how to do it.

I am still learning so bear with me...

I am building a workflow which is taking information from a text document open in vim and pasting it in a browser. For this, in vim, i have to enter a command string like njyt@yt.y$.

How do i do this in Alfred? I now have 9 key combo objects with 1 letter each, but there must be a better way to do this. Or not?

I have the same problem with MacVim. MacVim is installed using homebrew but there is no icon/.app in Applications. Therefor you cannot drag MacVim into the Launch Apps object. When adding it manually Alfred tries to launch a new instance of MacVim.
