You have to change the option in IINA itself. Go into its preferences → Key Bindings and duplicate the one you use. On the rightmost box search for PREV and NEXT—which are the media keys for forward and backward—and edit them to do a Seek.

Thanks Vitor, I just downloaded IINA so didn't know that was an option. Anyway I just tried it but it won't recognise the F7 key unless I press the fn key with it. I find this strange because I don't have to press the fn key to be able to make it play/pause using the F8 key, how do I get it the F7 key to work without having to press the fn key, any ideas?

Thank you.

Hello folks,

Can someone help me with the following please. Say if I am using Word to transcribe the audio from a video I am watching in IINA, on my Mac keyboard while still in Word I can press F8 which is the play/pause key and the video will play/pause in IINA, but if I press the F7 key it will jump back to the previous video, I want it to skip back five seconds in the current video which means I have to click out of Word into IINA and then use IINA's navigation keys to rewind five seconds and then click back into Word. Is there a way to assign F7 to skip back in the video playing in IINA [and not jump back to the previous video] without having to leave the program I am typing in?

Hello folks,

I installed the Soulver workflow given on their website, but when I try to use it on Alfred I get the message, 'Error: Soulver CLI not found,' any ideas as to why this is happening? I am using Alfred Early Access 5 and Soulver 3.

Thanks.

+1 Did anything ever come of this?

Cool! Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response @vitor. Here is the PDF that I would like to be able to search, it's an Arabic-English dictionary, not sure if this gives you a better idea of whether it is achievable or not?

Hello folks,

I need to be able to search the text of a specific dictionary PDF file for the definition of words, after typing a word I need the definition of in the Alfred search bar, is there a way where it could open up the particular PDF file and then search that PDF for the word?

I have no idea how to create a workflow.

Thank you.

@AlexMartinFR, very useful, thanks for this.

Excellent when you need to create a snippet that's a little out of the ordinary

 

Cheers,

Excellent, thanks for that.

Thanks Giovanni.

Sorry for another basic question folks.

I setup a snippet to enter the date and time but how would I have it where the actual day's name is also inserted, i.e., Mon 21 Jun 2021, instead of 21 Jun 2021.

Thank you.

@deanishe , no wonder you're a community hero! lol. That is just fantastic, much appreciated.

The creation of the hotkey to search currently-selected text is exactly what I want so I will try to follow your instructions above and see if I can get it to work. If not, I'll be back to ask here.

Thanks again for that helpful and speedy response.

Hello folks,

I'm a new user and have been trying to get Web Search to work on Alfred on a site but have been unsuccessful. I've set one up for other sites but this one is not working. Is there a way for me to be able to search for an Arabic word on this dictionary on this website? And how would I tweak that to be able to search on the site's main page?

Also is it possible to have a workflow where you can say double-click/rightclick on a word on a webpage and it will go and search for it on the above website?

I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you.
