Thanks a lot David, much appreciated!

Sometimes I like using this site to generate ascii text I can use as a giant section comment while coding. I saw that it's just a frontend to the unix FIGlet tool, so I thought it'd be cool to make a workflow that would accept text (and an optional font style) and copy the ascii output to clipboard. I'm not really sure what I'm doing though, so any help would be appreciated. - Not sure how to (or if I can) use figlet as a standalone command line application. I don't want to use macports or whatever to fully install it, just wanted to have it in a folder that I could cd to in terminal and run that way. This would feel more self-contained to me than just installing it outright (and requiring workflow users to install it themselves). - Once I've got that I assume I need to create a workflow script (applescript?) that pipes the input into the figlet program and copies the output to the clipboard Thanks for any advice!

Mind sharing your desktop wallpaper too?

Okay, I figured it out, should have realized it earlier: the problem is that I have Synergy running, and was trying to control the client computer with the shortcuts. Everything else works (the shortcuts on the server computer, the non-itunes hotkeys on the client computer, and the keyboard shortcuts in the itunes app itself). Was able to just add a hotkey workflow as a workaround (Templates -> iTunes -> Next track from hotkey)

Just tracks in my library (not even sure how to access iTunes Radio )

I can't seem to get the keyboard shortcuts (outlined here) to work, i.e. bringing up the mini player and using ctrl-cmd-right won't skip to the next track. I seem to remember them working awhile ago. I'm on 10.8.5 and latest version of Alfred 2 powerpack. Am I required to set up a workflow for these hotkeys, or is something else going on?
