    Alan He reacted to SimplyJimRiley in Alfred Clipboard History Sync To Multiple Computers   
    Hi, I am new to this Forum.  I searched for this topic, but didn't see it listed - so apologies if this has already been requested.
     
    I would like to see my Clipboard history sync between computers (via iCloud, Dropbox, etc)
     
    Paste has this capability via iCloud- https://pasteapp.io/?utm_source=setapp&utm_medium=setapp
    Sync & back up your clipboard history to iCloud Keep your Clipboard History and Pinboard securely stored in iCloud so that it becomes reachable from all your devices. Enjoy having all your data synced across all of your devices. Needless to add, this snippets manager also runs well with Universal Clipboard on all other devices.  
    If this capability has already been requested, could someone point me to the request, so that I can up vote.
     
    If it hasn't, I would submit for consideration.
     
    Thanks!

    Alan He reacted to Vero in Alphabetize the Features section in the preferences?   
    @derBingle Rather than manually go to the preferences to find your Snippets, just type "?snip" and press return to be taken directly to the Snippets preferences.  
     
    You can do this for any feature, and any workflow, etc in Alfred. You can also type "?keywords" for a list of your keywords or "?hotkeys" for a list of your hotkeys.
     
    More info on using the question mark trick here:
    https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/search-alfred-question-mark-trick/
     
    Features are organised very intentionally by level of importance, grouping search related features (default search results, web searches, file search/actions) together, followed by built-in features like Bookmarks, Clipboard, Snippets, and onto simpler features like Calc and Dictionary, and finally third-party integration with 1Password and more minor preferences relating to System commands, Terminal, etc...
     
    Putting 1Password or Calculator above the primary Default Search results wouldn't make sense just for the sake of alphabetisation  
     
    Cheers,
    Vero

    Alan He reacted to deanishe in Can't assign F11 F12   
    @Benben  Do you get the "key not assigned" error tone (called "Funk", I think) when pressing F11 or F12?
     
    ShortcutDetective is amazing for figuring out which app has assigned which hotkey.

    Alan He reacted to Andrew in Include snippets from workflows in Snippet Viewer list   
    @Benben this is what I mean - It's currently ticketed, but not targeted for a specific release, so I can't give you a timescale... I do agree that this would be useful though.

    @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.

    Alan He reacted to Benben in Include snippets from workflows in Snippet Viewer list   
    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).

    Alan He reacted to vitor in Alfred Remote for Android?   
    [emphasis mine]
    To be fair, views are meaningless. I have no interest in Android and still viewed the topic, as I’d bet most other workflows developers (who realised the topic exists) did as well, just to gather what the response was.
    I won’t speak for Alfred’s team, but as an open-source maintainer, repeated +1ing of a topic that was already given a clear answer is useless and serves only to counter-productively drown out the important parts of the discussion. It has already been shown there is interest; continuing to +1 serves no further purpose. As Vero said, there are only two on Alfred’s team, and I’m not even sure both of them code (Vero is way more active with the community, so I’m guessing she takes care of most — often way more demanding — non-coding matters). Investing on a platform they don’t use (including learning it, and all the time that comes with doing so) likely won’t pay off.
    As Andrew said, they won't be encouraging or supporting reverse engineering, and only once Remote settles and becomes established, they may provide solutions for third-party integrations. This all means: don’t count on an official Android client1, and if you want to work on a third-party solution, you’ll have to wait until steps are done that will make that possible, if ever.
    Locking the topic, as it’s effectively been answered. If things change, Vero and/or Andrew can unlock it and give further news, or (more likely) make an official announcement somewhere else. Either way, we all want for continued posts to be informative, instead of a repetition what has been asked over and over.
    ——————————
    1 It may happen, but it’s extremely unlikely and there are no plans in that direction as of now.

    Alan He reacted to deanishe in clipboard history text colour etc.   
    Hi @John_Orthogonal, welcome to the forum.
     
    That's an awfully large change to Alfred you're asking for to solve a problem that, essentially, you've deliberately created for yourself. I honestly wouldn't hold out much hope unless you can think of a better reason.
  19. Thanks
    Alan He reacted to vitor in AppleScript command to turn on display mirroring when plugged into an external monitor   
    Because the problem isn’t Alfred-related, you should ask somewhere else more general, like Ask Different. After you get the code, we can help you make the Workflow if you need it.
     
    I’ve done a quick search for “applescript display mirroring” and found results. I haven’t tried any of them, which is why I’m not linking to anything specific.

    Alan He reacted to Andrew in [Suggestion] Set ⌘-⇧-/ to open alfredapp.com/help/   
    @Chris Messina if I show Alfred and type ⌘⇧/, I don't get anything on Mojave, or Big Sur. This shortcut is the standard macOS shortcut to highlight Help menu search field, Alfred doesn't have a menu. Do you have any other apps installed which could be causing this to occur in Alfred?
     
    As for getting a list of keywords, you can type ?keywords into Alfred, likewise, use ?hotkeys to see all hotkeys.

    Alan He reacted to deanishe in Microsoft Teams   
    If it's an Electron app, then client-side scripting is probably out of the question: Electron doesn't support AppleScript.
     
    Guys, just posting "+1" is very unlikely to get you any closer to having a Teams workflow.
     
    There are plenty of people who’ll help if you write the workflow yourself, and others will write you a simple workflow based on an API you've found. But not many will look at a thread of “+1” posts and decide to do literally all of the work for you.
     
    Put in a bit of effort yourselves (e.g. go find out if there's an API), and someone who can help is much more likely to reciprocate.
