Excellent. I understand. Thanks - this gives me something to experiment with.

Hi @deanishe

Thanks for the heads up and sorry for making you repeat what you must have said a thousand times.

Here is the workflow, however this is now a modified version that is working.

But I would still like some help as I don't understand what I have done that works.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fsge2546jg4c4ie/[TXT] Case Changer.alfredworkflow?dl=0

This workflow works only if I have all the steps. Removing any steps prevents it from successfully completing.

My question now is: As I'm aiming for short, clean workflows - are all the steps I have necessary?

thanks

I'm brand new to workflows in Alfred. I have dozens of automations set up in Keyboard Maestro, and I am converting as many as possible into Alfred Workflows & Snippets.

I cannot understand how the Transform Utility works for what I'm trying to do. Any explanation would be most appreciated.

What I'm trying to do:

Select a block of text > Invoke an Alfred keyword "Case" > Choose an Alfred Result (e.g. Uppercase) > Run a Key Combo "⌘C" to copy text selection > Use theTransform Utility to convert the clipboard to Uppercase > Copy Clipboard Action with Paste
