For those interested in this workflow, I have updated my personal version of @Wayne Yao's alfred-cheat, using the modifications @giovanni made to port it to Python 3/Alfred 5. The main difference with Wayne Yao's original workflow is the possibility to have a quicklook view of the cheatsheet.

If you are interested, you can have a look at

Any comment/suggestion is welcome!

Hi @vitor, the above link seems broken. Do you think you could give another one? Thanks!

Hey @Wayne Yao

With great pleasure. Note that I took some liberty in some parts (the README file, comments in the code, etc.), because I thought you did no longer work on the workflow.
Of course you are absolutely free to reverse these changes! I am just happy to contribute to your workflow (that I like very much!)
 

Well, I could not reach Wayne Yao, so I decided to modify this workflow myself 🙂

So here is a new version of Alfred-Cheat! You can download it and find detailed explanations on github.

What's new:

• Main new feature : a Quicklook view. Just hit ⇧ or ⌘Y after opening a cheatsheet, and a page as shown below appears.

• Small improvements :

  • Open your cheatsheet in your text editor by hitting ⌘↵

  • Slight syntax changes for cheatsheets (to put sections for the Quicklook view or hidden lines)

  • Open the large type view by hitting ⌘L

  • I changed wx-Yao's cheat keyword into cht because I find it quicker. But it is easy to reverse this change.

Comments, suggestions or bugs reports are most welcome!

@Johannes About the LaTeX workflow: I had the same problem, it appears to be a known issue, see https://github.com/wookayin/alfred-latex-symbols-workflow/issues/4

The workaround given there worked for me:

As a workaround until I fix the issue, you can do the following: Make sure that ruby is installed in your system (e.g. /usr/bin/ruby) Locate the workflow directory (Right-click on the workflow -- Open in Finder/Terminal to get the path) Open the terminal and go to the workflow directory. Then: $ bundle install --standalone

I had to install bundler (https://bundler.io) on my computer before, by using

sudo gem install bundler

and then it worked like a charm.

Hi, thanks for the workflow, I find it great.

You mention on github that you are open to suggestions, so here are three of them:

— would there be a way to add invisible comments in the file? Now I just put #comments and then two line breaks, but this could probably be nicer.

— without adding the possibility of modifying the cheat sheet in Alfred, maybe could ⌘O directly open the file in the user's favorite text editor?

— based on the file, there may be a way to automatically generate an hmtl cheat sheet that could be seen with quicklook when pressing ⇧, what do you think? (I am thinking of stuff like https://www.mediaatelier.com/CheatSheet/ or https://www.ergonis.com/products/keycue/)
