I added this customization on my own version to have a cmd modifier and allow to open the HN discussion instead of the article news, for follow up.
 
const items = { title: response.title, subtitle: [response.id, response.by, response.score].join(", "), arg: 'url' in response? response.url: HACKERNEWS_URL + response.id, mods: { cmd: { valid: true, arg: HACKERNEWS_URL + response.id, subtitle: 'Open HN link; ID = ' + response.id } } };

It will not scroll the chat list to the newly selected chat It appears to start a new group chat when selecting one, but if you type a message it will add it to the "existing" chat and the "new" one will disappear. If you elect not to send a message after opening it here, you can delete (click on the x) the "new" chat without actually deleting the original one.

A solution I have found for this (does not involve Alfred, but could be scripted to do so) is to map a global keyboard shortcut to "send <mute shortcut> to <app>". Using BetterTouchTool, this is pretty straightforward and works really well (and globally). For me, I have this mapped to a special F key on my keyboard, and I use MS Teams:

 

Interesting workaround. Are the blacked out options your meeting 'names' that you can use alfred to parse? 
 
I have installed Meeter (https://trymeeter.com/) and it works perfectly - my hotkey just makes me join whatever meeting I have at the moment, directly in Teams (the prompt asking about devices and 'click to join'). I've seen a few conflicts with all day events 'hiding' normal meetings, but for 90% of my usecases it works well.

Hey guys,
Seems like many of you enjoyed my old minimal theme:
https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/16333-minimal-theme-refined-apr-6th-2021/
So here's the new one I created for my M1 Pro MacBook.
 
Light:https://www.alfredapp.com/extras/theme/7TdSQcdigK/
Dark:https://www.alfredapp.com/extras/theme/nerw5iDkVy/
Black (for night owls): https://www.alfredapp.com/extras/theme/piaj5hcWlE/

 

This abbreviation is now in the 4.6.3 b1282 pre-release.

I do see the value in shortening the prefix of certain paths, especially now that macOS 12 is pushing cloud drive solutions into the ~/Library/CloudDrive/... folder.
 
For now, I'm going to abbreviate this path to ☁️/... and I'll consider a more thorough solution in the future.
 
Cheers,
Andrew

Microsoft's OneDrive recently changed their sync location, now making this obligatory through a user's library vs. directly in a home directory:
Inside the new Files On-Demand Experience on macOS 
 
The new path to "get started" in OneDrive's personal directory is:
~/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal
 
Even worse, for corporate synched shared libraries, 
~/CloudStorage/OneDrive-SharedLibraries-<CompanyName>
 
These paths are super long and prevent to see the "meat" of paths when searching for files in Alfred:

 
It would be great to be able to set an alias or shortcut in the returned path to abstract that absolute "start point" of ~/Library/CloudStorage to allow for more visibility into the relevant path information for the search results.
 
For example, an Alfred setting that replaces a user-configurable path (e.g."~/CloudStorage/OneDrive-SharedLibraries-<CompanyName>") with a user configurable text (e.g. "Sharepoint Shared"). This would not modify actions like 'copy path' but simply the navigation through files. 
 
Another potential solution to this problem would be to have a setting or a keyboard modifier to switch from showing "start of path" to "end of path" while displaying Alfred file search results ie. instead of 
~/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-SharedLibraries-<CompanyName>/Folder1/... (last part can't be seen)
show
(first part is hidden) .../Folder1/<Rest of path>

Intriguing! Solving a need I didn't know I had, will check it out, thanks for sharing!

Alfred Workflow - Apple Music Playlist
This workflow was based on the information provided by MacStories in this post
Tired to check the page everytime I wanted to hear something new and also tired to find something new in a mess of Apple Music App, I imported manually each link and image to here.
So, just type "amusic" to see a list or "amusic+type" to select a specific list and choose inside it, for example "amusicplaces".
After choose, tap enter and the music app on your mac will be opened at the playlist choosen, just play and enjoy.
 
Feel free to edit and reshare.

@Mingwei sorry for the delay - this version works perfect for me. Thanks so much, loving this!

There are probably quite a few sound device selector script filters out there, but the ones I've come across are mostly written in applescript. I rewrote my own in C++ Swift and it runs much faster, so I'm sharing it here in case anyone's interested. 
 
Features
Directly uses system APIs to list and select sound devices, which makes it very fast and reliable No dependencies - no additional installs required Optionally add devices to a blocklist to hide them from results Optionally disable device selected notifications  
Installation note
On initial run, you'll see a pop-up window that says something like:
"sound_filter" / "sound_selector" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. This is a macOS security feature that blocks execution of non-codesigned binaries You're seeing it because this workflow uses pre-compiled binaries rather than interpreted code (e.g. Python) I can't codesign those binaries because I'd need an Apple developer account and that costs money The security risk is that you have to trust that I'm not doing malicious stuff with the binaries (I'm not) (This workflow is open-source and you can compile the binaries yourself, in which case all this is moot, but that's very inconvenient) You have to bypass this security feature to use this workflow. To do so, follow the instructions here.

@xgo could you install this pre-release and let me know if it works? 
 
Thanks for the tip on airplay! I don't use airplay either so I'd have trouble testing stuff, but I want to try replacing switchaudio-osx with macOS APIs at some point so I might be able to look into it then. 

Ask and ye shall receive!

Instant Fuzzy File Search: Download

 
List all the files inside a folder using fd, and instantly fuzzy-search through all of them using fzf, all from inside Alfred with a single keyword: fzf.

Screenshots
Invoke with fzf

Search through tens of thousands of files

Fuzzy search shows most relevant results

There's a folder action too!

Search even inside apps

Manually create folder-specific keywords

 
Alternative and comparison
Fuzzy Folders is another fuzzy search workflow that is more configurable and customizable. Instant Fuzzy File Search doesn’t have any plans to match all the features supported by Fuzzy Folders. Neither does it aim to be as easy to customize. Take a look at the table below for a quick comparison between the two.
 

 

Summary
 
All of the QR code generator workflows I've come across use a dependency, such as an external installation, embedded app, or web service. Given that MacOS can create QR codes natively, that's what I did with this workflow.
 
Usage
 
I've configured this to use two different keywords, qrc & qrp. The qrc keyword creates a QR code that copied to the clipboard. The other keyword, qrp does the same thing, except at the end it'll open the QR code in Preview to allow saving as an image/pdf.
 
When using either qrc or qrp without a parameter this workflow will attempt to use text contained on the clipboard. This same flow is followed if you set a hotkey for the selection and nothing is selected.

Hi Everyone,
 
I came across this great workflow while browsing the internet and thought I would share it. It provides inline search results from google. With a few small modifications, it also provides inline results from other websites such as YouTube (You need to replace "{query}" with "youtube {query}").

I love this, thanks so much for sharing. I've been having issues trying to copy-and-match style hyperlinks in the right font (i.e. not Calibri) in Outlook with hyperlinks on my clipboard, and this is accelerating my workaround of manually editing the hyperlink. 

Usage

Paste clipboard entries sequentially via the Hotkey or Snippet Trigger. Each call pastes the preceding clipboard entry.

Copying from the most recent item restarts if the last paste is older than the timeout minutes defined in the Workflow’s Configuration. A force reset can be triggered with the paste keyword by pressing ⌘⌥⌃↩.

Alfred GIF Search
Download: Gif.Search.alfredworkflow
Up-to-date README (this post is outdated)

This workflow lets you search GIFs on Tenor from Alfred.

Here's an example of searching and inserting a GIF in a google doc:


Installation
Download the latest release. In Alfred, run .setup-gif-search.
Usage
In Alfred, enter gif keyword followed by search query. Press ↩. Use arrow keys or mouse to browse the GIFs. To copy the selected GIF to clipboard: either ⌘↩ or ⌘-click To drop the GIF into apps that support it: drag from Alfred and drop into that app
Note

Firefox and Chrome don't support pasting GIFs from clipboard. That is, if you copy a GIF to clipboard and paste it, it shows up as a static image, not an animated GIF. This is not a bug in this workflow, but rather just the way these browsers have decided to handle GIFs.

Both Chrome and Firefox support drag-n-drop. If you use either of these browsers, sorry, you gotta use the mouse!

I'm bumping this because I had this exact same thought yesterday and started thinking about implementation options. Amazing to see this has been done before
 
e.g. in Chrome, all PDFs that I want to download have a save prompt with default location "downloads" – using this shortcut I can now easily download into the needed directory without having to open a finder window and drag-and-drop its icon into the save prompt. "sheet" trigger works flawlessly.
 
6y thanks, @Tyler Eich!
 
EDIT: sometimes I seem to get a double entry i.e. the filepath is entered in the cmd-shift-g prompt then entered as file name then saved immediately. I bruteforce fixed this by adding a slight delay before the 'return' key is captured
tell sheet 1 keystroke parentFolder delay 0.1 keystroke return end tell
