Excellent!

Long time ago I had set up 'sn' as Snippet Keyword, but never used it. Alfred has so much more…

>Using Cmd + S will open the snippet, ready to edit, in the Snippets preferences.

For me this is CMD + ENTER.

thank you. /

Sorry, but this is not satisfactory.

I have 15 Collections of snippets with about 15 snippets each (yes I'm an avid user of snippets 🙂) ≈ 220 snippets.

This would be be my feature request: **Search all snippets from a search window.**

The viewer is just opening the list of collections.

April 14

There are more than 10 collections of Alfred snippets,

sometimes I need to look for one of those snippets, but in which collection is it?

How find the snippet?

Hey and good day, 2 points

1.
I have npm installed

bash-3.2$ npm -v

10.2.4

but then it can't be found:

bash-3.2$ npm install --global alfred-search-omnifocus

bash: npm: command not found

v

Earlier at the end of the homebrew installation, I could do the first recommended command

==> Next steps:

- Run these two commands in your terminal to add Homebrew to your PATH:

(echo; echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"') >> /Users/okn/.zprofile

eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

v

this one ok:

echo; echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"'

v

but did not know what to do/ how to write/ with this command:

>> /Users/okn/.zprofile

eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

v

No .zprofile, they are 2 steps?

2.
macos Ventura 13.4
Search OmniFocus from Alfred - V2.1.3

Unsuccessful to open "Open in Terminal"

/okn
- - Still struggling --

March 3

Alfred 5.1.4

Search OmniFocus from Alfred - v2.1.3

- which forum thread for this?

The search is not started yet, and will not be executed!

What could be the reason?

Stephen_C · January 22

Thank you Vero and Stephen, =SOLVED_!

The secret of all secrets: don't forget to update your Alfred app!

January 19

Same when I used date with slashes in the Lang & Region settings 19/08/2024,

and also same when I write with a comma, according to alfredapp   -unicode.

Even after adding a comma, in append and and create QN the output remains

{isodate:EEEE dd MMMM yyyy} at {isotime: HH.mm} without a comma?!?

This is my piece of a penny!

January 19

here it is:

January 19

For me this would be just perfect:

{date: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm}

= 2024-01-19 13:50

Question is where in the workflow is it set?

/okn

January 19

{isodatetime}

does not work for me, but {date… does.. 🙂

January 19

This works:

{date:MMMM yyyy}

I believe date formats can be adapted with {date as well …

January 19

TextEdit with the snippet only return the same:

{isodate:EEEE dd MMMM yyyy} at {isotime: HH.mm}

January 19

Hurray!

The action doesn't seem to understand that there already exists a file, and instead of appending anything just creates a new file on top of the existing (?!)

Hope you can find the culprit!

2 Questions please:

1.

qn is to create a new QuickNote each time, but is it possible to add a line of text to the existing QuickNote.txt file?

⇢ Even better would be to add the new line of text at top of the file, so newest is at top.

2.

Where to set the date so that it is correct?

Hey and good day,

So the user needs first to create an empty .txt file, done.

then add "keyword … to use to create a quick note" - how to that, it's not a trigger, and where to set it.

because "qn" is for *adding* a quick note, not for creating one?!

Just 1 step slower did it!

Thank you @Stephen_C .

I'm using Alfred snippets with keywords, everything is fine.

Except on WhatsApp.

The snippet seems to resolve some milliseconds late, but will leave the first part of the keyword in the WhatsApp message, so there is part of the snippet, and at the end of the text letters are deleted.

So here an example with an HTML tag. The keyword is pp3

How could this be avoided?

Hi kpw,

This looks great.

Do I have to download python3 first, I guess-via Homebrew?

Then when I have Python, should I install the script into /usr/bin/env ?

Maybe I need to read up on it to get the basic idea?

Sorry, many questions.

Greetings and good day,

How to export my snippets as text?

So they could be printed out.

This is what it looks like,
I want a reminder that it is the "2" on the extended keyboard.

Otherwise, as a feature request.

March 25, 2023

It's for a Hotkey which opens a specific file.

The hotkey is triggered by CTRL ALT K2, where K2 is the "2" on the extended keyboard, and the trigger doesn't work with the usual "2" key.

So I thought to put a reminder somewhere that it is for the K2.
