Did you set it to restore clipboard contents? https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/snippets/advanced/

Latest addition using HazeOver -- which works great with everything else dark: tell application "HazeOver" set enabled to false end tell

No. from https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/tutorial-importing-and-setting-up-alfred-workflows/ There's obviously a tradeoff here but I think it's better to have the user do a little bit more customisation rather than potentially overwrite their existing setup.

I was just working on a workflow that looks like this snippet trigger > run script > copy to clipboard and paste I discovered that (although the Copy to Clipboard object only mentions {date} {time} & {clipboard}) I can have the script generate text containing the {cursor} snippet & Alfred will move the cursor after pasting. ?

Haha it only took four years for someone to take an interest in this I've updated the link -- hope you find it useful.

Actually I'm blown away by how much more powerful Alfred is than TE, thanks to the ability to use script filters in snippets.

I just updated the README with more detailed directions.

and I have to say how impressed I am with the snippets feature -- I hadn't looked at all the details in quite a while and there's so much that can now be done with snippet triggers etc. It was very easy to recreate all my fill-in and script driven TE snippets in Alfred.

Yes this was very cool, and a use of text expansion that I had never thought of before.

I spent hours marking up the graduate admissions letter from a certain university ... someone had clearly attempted unsuccessfully to recreate letterhead in a Word document ... kerning was just one of many many problems. To me, it was like telling prospective graduate students that we don’t care about attention to detail so come to our university. Painful to look at.

Hmmm...it seems there is a markdown plug-in at least if this post still applies: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/432816-editor-overhaul/ I haven’t really been bothered but I haven’t been that active lately & certainly haven’t been revising complex posts. I think keeping the overarching infrastructure but changing the editor (or giving users that option) might be an optimal compromise solution.

I have seen too much hard work and good information lost when companies switched forum software (37 signals....), and there is such a wealth of experiences embedded in these boards, I’d be happier just sticking with what we have. Even with its flaws. One can always link to github or gist easily enough if syntax highlighting is really a problem.

Actually it looks like the scripting commands are unchanged from Yosemite:

Not sure I’ve tried it since the latest Ulysses update....send a pm to @robwalton he has been quite good about keeping it in shape.

The workflow’s. See step 1 here: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2

I think of Alfred and HoudahSpot as complementary - see I don’t remember exactly but I believe I built custom HS searches using Applescript described here : https://forums.houdah.com/post/alfred-workflow-9675606

Yes I realised that too. I barely use it...but using the regular file selection action hotkey also works from within the Alfred file nav...which I didn't know until I tried that now...

just put this in a script filter https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4509624/how-to-limit-depth-for-recursive-file-list#4509648

Added file actions and rf and fg commands

Hmm....I have been using file filters to search folders forever so this doesn't seem awkward to me. But that's from search, not from Alfred's file interface. I added file actions wired to the existing keywords. In re: Finder tabs - to go further with controlling tabs is going to require a lot of UI scripting - and the challenge is that the active tab isn't revealed to AppleScript. "Close All Tabs but the Active One" can be simulated by the following AppleScript but it closes and opens so it's not so clean: tell application "Finder" set t to target of front window close front window open t end tell Anyway I added it to the workflow. "Reopen Closed Tab" won't be possible but I added a script filter that lists the recent folders.

What's not working about the Script Filter approach? That seems like the easiest approach to me.

Yes. I added an environment variable - it's set to use tabs by default since that's my preference. Adding the AppleScript to take care of the new tabs (embedded in bashfinder.sh) took all of five minutes. Trying to set the environment variable programmatically in bash took more than an hour and I gave up. So at this point you need to set it manually.

Nope. You might be able to swing something with Bartender, to hide the actual Spotlight icon and create a menu app in Applescript that launches Alfred. But I would advise just using the keyboard to launch Alfred.
