Hotkeys were replaced with workflows: Shortcuts currently have a small (maybe 0.2 s) delay by default, but you can reduce it by changing the trigger behavior.

You can still use KeyRemap4MacBook: <autogen>__KeyOverlaidModifier__ KeyCode::COMMAND_L, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::COMMAND_L, KeyCode::F19</autogen> <autogen>__KeyOverlaidModifier__ KeyCode::COMMAND_R, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_R | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::COMMAND_R, KeyCode::F19</autogen> <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::COMMAND_R, KeyCode::F19</autogen>

Hotkeys have a ~200ms delay by default, but you can reduce it by selecting this option:

It happens even if that option is selected: - Select Preferences > Tabs > Open pages in tabs instead of windows > Always - Open some page in Safari and type something on the location bar - Run open http://example.com

on alfred_script(q) activate application "SystemUIServer" -- http://www.openradar.me/9406282 activate application "Finder" tell application "Finder" repeat with f in selection as alias list if label index of f is 0 then set label index of f to 2 else set label index of f to 0 end if end repeat end tell end alfred_script Finder has a bug in 10.7 and 10.8 where the selection property refers to the second frontmost window (or the desktop) after you open a new window. As a workaround, you can move focus to another application and back, but it results in a visual glitch. You can reduce the delay for hotkeys by secondary-clicking a shortcut recorder and setting the trigger behavior to pass through modifier keys.

You can probably convert it to a workflow: - Add Triggers > Hotkey (secondary-click the shortcut recorder and change the trigger behavior to remove the ~200ms delay) - Add Actions > Run Script and paste something like "automator ~/Desktop/test.workflow" as the content

Abbreviations like pp for Powerpoint are recognized automatically if you change the fuzzy matching mode: If others were searching for how to add keywords, you can use Inputs > Keyword and Actions > Launch Apps / Files:

You can show hidden files in file dialogs by pressing ⇧⌘.. But even if you add ~/Library/Scripts/ to the search scope, files in it are not included in the default results, because they are treated as system files by Spotlight and Alfred. You can make a search filter that includes system files: Or assign a shortcut for opening the file browser in ~/ or ~/Library/Scripts/:

You can use PCKeyboardHack to change caps lock to another key like F19, and then add something like this to private.xml in KeyRemap4MacBook: <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::F19, KeyCode::COMMAND_L, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L | ModifierFlag::OPTION_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L</autogen>

It's a feature or bug in Safari: if you have edited the text on the location bar, pages opened from other applications are opened in a new window.
