I am the author of this workflow. Github link:  https://github.com/lcmanzara/OpenArcTab This workflow assumes the Arc browser is already installed. It will gracefully handle the situation where it is not installed, displaying an error message.  
 
Full description:
 
This workflow searches the Arc application for pinned, unpinned, and top tabs, as well as named spaces, enabling the user to select a particular tab or space to open. The user can configure the workflow to separately include or exclude pinned, unpinned, and top tabs, as well as spaces. The user can also specify if the search results are presented in sorted alphabetic order or in "natural order", where the tabs and spaces are listed as they appear in the Arc browser's sidebar. The workflow can also handle the situation where there are multiple Arc windows open, each with multiple spaces and tabs.
 
For tabs, the search results will show the tab name as the main title, and the window number (if there are multiple windows open), the kind of tab, the space name, and the corresponding URL as the subtitle. For spaces, the search results will show the space name as the main title, and "Arc Space" as the subtitle.
 
This workflow can be triggered by typing the "[" character after invoking Alfred, or with the option-commmand-[ hotkey. No space is needed after the "[" character, which makes starting the search process very efficient.
 
Although the workflow depends on the Arc application being installed, it will gracefully handle the situation where it is not installed, and will display an error message.
 
Note that there may be no search results to display if the user has configured the workflow to exclude all tabs and spaces, or if the Arc browser does not have any windows currently open. The workflow will handle this situation gracefully, and will display an error message.

I use the compiled program on my M1 system and my Intel system. One system is using Alfred 5 and the other is still using Alfred 4. So the program should work on both types of systems and both builds of Alfred. Therefore, it looks like the program is missing or messed up in the download.

In the environment variables, there is one called `compiled`. If it’s zero, you have to have nodejs on your system and set it’s path in the `nodeapp` environment variable. If it’s one, it will try to run the compiled program I made for it.

So, when is beta testing?

We're planning an Alfred workflow gallery, to which creators will be able to contribute their own workflows.  
 
The project has been in the works for some time but, as a small team, we've prioritised getting a fantastic Alfred 5 release out first.  Once Alfred 5 has launched and users are happily up and running with the new features, we'll be working on an official site for Alfred workflows, as a separate project to v5.
 
Our aim is to create a safe and organised platform, which is easily searchable and browsable.

Hi, I'm glad you like it. I just updated it a little bit to 5.9 that you can download from my GitHub repository: https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred/blob/master/Alfred 4/TextSoap Cleaners.alfredworkflow
 
Let me know if that helps.

You can use my workflow ScratchPad (https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred/blob/master/Alfred 3/ScratchPad.alfredworkflow).  It will copy the clipboard to the Alfred prompt, you can edit it and hit enter to save it back to the clipboard. Very useful for me. Give it a try.

Hi @fncll,
 
Just updated the workflow on GitHub:  https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred/blob/master/Alfred 3/TextSoapCleaners.alfredworkflow
 
It's now future proofed for Alfred and TextSoap. Just set the TextSoap application name in the environment variables and the scripts will call the right application. I changed all the AppleScripts to JXA (JavaScript for Automation). Seems to be working for me. Let me know.

Description:
 
Just created a quick and easy TextSoap Cleaners workflow to allow for the execution of any of the TextSoap cleaners on the current clipboard contents. It is using the applescript interface to the TextSoap Menu application. Therefore the full application does not need to be running. It works faster than the PopClip extension for TextSoap.
 
This will also remember past used cleaners and give them back to you as an option. That way you can build your most used list here as well. It can also pop up a list of all cleaners in Alfred for you to pick from.
 
Download: https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred/blob/master/Alfred 5/TextSoap Cleaners 9.alfredworkflow
 
Readme:
 
This workflow is for using the TextSoap cleaners on text. Each keyword is described below:
 
To Use: The "tc:clean" keyword to select from a list of cleaners or a previously used cleaner. The particular TextSoap cleaner will be performed on the contents of the clipboard. If you hold down the FN key, it will delete that cleaner from the list of most used cleaners.
 
You can use a hot-key to launch the last cleaner automatically on the current selection and copy the results back in place. It also has a hot key to copy the current selection, show a list of available cleaners, perform the cleaner, and copy the results back.
 
The "tc:full" keyword will list every cleaner available and perform the selected cleaner on the clipboard contents.
 
In order to have the list of every cleaner, you should run the keyword “tc:getcleaners" each time you add a new cleaner to Text Soap.
 
You can set an editor to use to edit your personal cleaner list using the "tc:seteditor" keyword. You can then use the "tc:editlist" to edit your list of most used cleaners.
 
You can get a line, word, character count of what is in the clipboard using “tc:count”. It will clean out formatting first (HTML to plain text). If you pass a string with the command, it will count that string. You can set a hotkey to count the selected text. The count is placed back into the clipboard.
 
tc:loadpopclipext This will load the popclip extension for executing the last cleaner on the highlighted text.   There are also three places to set your hotkeys: one for doing a character/word/line count of your selection, one for evoking the last cleaner on selected text, and one for choosing from the full list of cleaner to apply on the currently selected text.    
Current Version: 2.3   changed on 06/26/2014
 
I refactored and cleaned up a lot of code. Added the line, word, character counting as well. Just fixed problem with sorting cleaners by location in list and use. Now, Alfred sorts each cleaner by times used only.
 
Current Version: 3.0 changed on 11/22/2022
 
The link above has been changed to the 3.0 version. Sorry for the inconvenience of not updating this sooner.
 
Current Version: 6.0
 
Just updated to Alfred 5. This workflow no longer uses environment variables. It still uses node.js if the compiled version of the internal program isn't used.
 
Let me know if you need more functionality or you find a bug.

Been using this for a while as well and just wanted to say thank you @raguay.customct 🙌

I sent you the email.
 

You download it in Dash. Go to the home page in your Dash program, click 'Download Docsets', and search 'User Contributed' for Alfred. Then click download. Very simple.

Ted Wise's Running workflow (http://tedwise.com) works great for that.

@raguay.customct I've converted your post above to BBCode. The forum doesn't support Markdown, remember

You missed my point. Use Alfred to launch and control the other applications. The 'div' workflow does that, just behind the scene so you don't realize it. I like my Hammerspoon workflow because I can add functionality easily, but run everything from Alfred. The power of Alfred isn't that it does everything, but that it can 'glue' the smaller programs together to make life easier.

I've updated all of my workflows on https://github.com/raguay/MyAlfred. There are 69 workflows that I've created and use regularly (most of them). If you have any questions or problems, feel free to let me know. Since all of these were created with a need that I had, they might not all work for what you need. But, play around with them and experiment and you will learn a lot!
 
No, I will not be updating each of my individual listings in the Alfred forum or in Packal.org. That is just too large of a job for no benefit. Just get them from my GitHub account.
 
The Alfred 2 and 3 versions are still there in their own directories. Since I don't have Alfred 2 or 3 installed anymore, I will not be updating them.

It should be an option on the Power Pack page of the Preferences program so that we can really use it as a tip jar at any time!

All of my workflows in this branch work great and I use them a lot.

I have a set of workflows that I use to process videos on our website and attach SRT files to them. Usually I just up arrow to the one before the last command to recycle through them. But, I some times have to execute other commands in the middle. Then, I either have to retype the older command or up arrow until I find it. It would be nice to type in the first two letters and then up arrow through the history that only starts with those two letters. Just like I have my zsh configured to do.
 
For example: My History has:
 
dp:nextfile
eh:openSRTfile
dc:disable
 
The first two commands are the two that I cycle through, but I then disabled DwellClick with the dc:disable. To do the dp:next file, I would have to retype it or up arrow 3 times. But, with this feature I am proposing, I would type 'dp' then one up arrow and it will jump to the dp:nextfile command. In this example, it doesn't really save much time. But in other situations, it will.

I just added workflow snippets to my Time Stamp Workflow and noticed that I had never shared it. So, here it is. You can use "ts:stamp" to list the pre-defined date/time stamp format and paste the current date/time into the top application. Or, you can use the "ts:build" to build your own date/time stamp to add to the list. I also have several predefined snippets:
 
;tsl = the current date/time using the last select date/time stamp.
;ed = the current date/time in the mm/dd/yyyy format.
;dow = the current day of the week.
;nsu - the next Sunday date using the last select date/time stamp.
;nmo - the next Monday date using the last select date/time stamp.
;ntu - the next Tuesday date using the last select date/time stamp.
;nwe  - the next Wednesday date using the last select date/time stamp.
;nth - the next Thursday date using the last select date/time stamp.
;nfr - the next Friday date using the last select date/time stamp.
;nsa - the next Saturday date using the last select date/time stamp.
