    No need to memorise things explictly. Also find a way to super quickly iterate on it.

     

    what i meant was instead of using arrow keys, backspace, return etc. I now have the other way and my muscle memory is just

    in the way at the moment. Just have to get used to it ^^

    My advice is to make a mental map of what key is responsible for what and after using it, you just remember things.

     

    Im also using Keyboard Maestro palettes for various apps that are already helping a lot.

    And then I can add my changes and jump around the XML file with prefixes (i.e. _alf def or _km def or sticky g). And then I use this to instantly refresh the config.

     

    thats pretty interesting tho as i make a lot of changes at the moment. Better to refresh via script than pressing the button in karabiner.

    I believe Karabiner Elements has something similar. 

     

    im on el capitan as i reverted back quite a while ago, so thats no issue :)

     

    Do you have any settings tipps? Like Karabiner Parameters related?

     

    @deanishe and @nikivi what is your biggest advantage of Typinator over Alfreds textexpander? Im testing it currently and already like

    the fuzzy, powerful search. Just try to justify the value for it with some more opinions.

  2. @nikivi thanks for sharing all of this.

    it certainly takes some getting used to, but i can already say that this way of binding i move my hands less and its more efficient.

     

    Only Problem is that i have to force my mind to adapt at the moment. Also that i changed now capslock single press to esc. 

    I have had the Hyper key functionality, but just now added the esc single press.

     

    I already have issues with other machines, but after this...man, haha

    This looks really painful to me. Why not use traditional HJKL vim bindings? For me its S + HJKL to move around. Oh and the cool thing also is that S + V held will emulate shift key being pressed. So I can S + V + L and visually select text to the right. 

     

    That's actually an even better approach. I'll search your Karabiner setting in Github and implement it.

    I first actually set J and K as up and down but then thought about the gamer hand haha. This however seems to be better as of the combination with 

    selecting text.

    How have you set backspace or is it not replaced?

  4. I myself am currently toying with the whole simultaneous key trigger thing from karabiner pointed out by @nikivi.

    Like at the moment im fiddeling with these settings:

     

    Sticky:

    A+F = Return

    A+J = Cursor Left

    A+I = Cursor Up

    A+K = Cursor Down

    A+J = Cursor Right

     

    This let's you navigate through Alfred without leaving the keyboard row(Takes some getting used to atm).

     

    Simultaneous Keys:

     

    D+O = Recent Downloads via @vitor  Workflow

    F+O = Show folders only in Alfred via Filefilter

    F+J = Typinator Quick Search. Im currently trying it out thanks to @nikivi and @deanishe 

    F+S = Create Snipped from selection in Typinator

    Y+T = Youtube Searchio search via Workflow from @deanishe

    G+O = Google Searchio search Workflow from @deanishe

     

    Overall this is just fiddling around and a thing that my muscle memory has to catch up to ^^

    Btw do you guys have a collection of Typinator phrases or overall a snipped collection?

     

     

    Cheers,

    Edit1: Sadly i cannot search the content of a snipped via Alfred which would make it a lot easier

    What's missing? (I only use it to remap a couple of keys).

     

    Karabiner Elements doesn't have the standard things like Tab mode or Launcher Mode. I myself have like nikivi now 

    things that i use from Karabiner that i cannot live without. That starts with a simple "Tab+Q" to switch between apps or "Tab+1" to switch tabs

    in my browser.

    I haven't tried the whole two keys at once approach yet and will look into what @nikivi has done.

    Oh wow, that's really sad that it got deleted. I spent quite a bit of time writing it and even linked to it from my wiki. ?

     

    I start to get interested in it too. I have been looking at your Github and have to see how to do the simultanious press. I already use sticky keys but 

    i could make way more out of them. I however still try to find a good system that fits and let's me remember everything.

    A good way however is having the same hotkey everywhere and use Keyboard Maestro Palettes.

    Would be cool if you could post a video where idk you show some ways of a hardcore way of using all functions together.

    I can't get this to work. I set the option to Compatibility. Then I have Karabiner-Elements open Alfred 3.app, and the Alfred window opens normally. Karabiner then sends some key codes, but the keys all go to the app that last had the focus before Alfred opened. Any suggestions?

     

    What Keycodes are you trying to send? 

    If you wanna trigger a workflow then i would do it directly via an external trigger.

    Other than that you can also open Alfred with a string or so:

     

    tell application "Alfred 3" to search "{query}"

    So I made a copy shortcut and a paste shortcut for Alfred Remote, but I would love to know if there's a way to make a cut shortcut, since I use it all the time. The only way I know how to "cut" in macOS is my right-clicking, holding down Option and then selecting "Move item here" after copying. Technically you're still copying the file in the first place and not really cutting, but would love to know if that can translate to a Remote shortcut.

     

    Any help is appreciated!

     

    What about ⌥+⌘+V that actually pastes in via moving the file and not copying.

     

    Edit1: just realized damn is that post old.

    Rather than starting a new thread I decided to add my questions about things I'm missing here:

     

    Is there any way to specify a program and then reveal it in the finder instead of launching it?

     

    Is there anyway to chose an app and then drag a file onto the alfred window so it's opened in that App?

     

    Finally can I get Alfred to open a person in the contacts application instead of displaying them in the alfred interface?

     

    1. Yes, just press ⌘ + ↩ instead of just ↩

     

    2. Not that i know, but you can choose a file and then press a button like "Ctrl" and get to the actions section. There you can either choose

    "open with" or you can create your own actions to open it with your desired application.

    The button to enter Actions can be set under Alfred preferences → Features → File Search → Actions

     

    3. Yes, search for the person and when shown just press ⌘ + O

    My network at work is locked down and it has made it nearly impossible to connect the remote.

     

    You can actually share network via bluetooth to your iPhone. That way you can use Alfred remote. I myself share the Ethernet connection via Wifi

    and connect that way as i have a server running but Alfred remote works too :) 

     

    Edit: System Preferences → Sharing → Internet Sharing

    I rarely move to the side to add to Dropshelf; I use a shortcut.

     

    That makes things more interesting. Having a multi buffer that is accessible at your finger tips.

    That's like the Alfred buffer, however i would love to see an option to handle it better (own shortcuts, maybe workflow option).

    Currently you cannot just buffer multiple files in different locaitons quickly and handle them easy.

    I often see myself using the "File Selection" to move files, but that's not it yet.

     

    14 minutes ago, vitor said:

    But it stands that one could build a similar Alfred Workflow. Have a File Action that copies the paths of the selected files to a new “buffer” and another File Action that adds to an existing buffer (selectable via a Script Filter). Then have a Script Filter that shows all buffers and pastes to the frontmost (Path)Finder window.

     

    Looks like a good idea but needs a lot of steps. I'll see what i can come up with when i have some time :)

    For example, if I separately drag 5 movies to a USB stick, Finder will copy all 5 at once

     

    That's a good point!

    If it does behave the same as Path Finder, then I'll probably stop using Path Finder

     

    I just tried it and it seems to act the same way:

    Ignore launchbar lol i actually don't use it haha, reminds me that my solution for server indexing might be just 

    syncing it lol....All operations wait until the current one is done in this case.

     

    Right before posting, you can actually set it the way you want to:

    I only use Path Finder for copying/moving lots of files because it lets you queue file operations

    What do you exactly mean by queue file operations? Like 1 by 1 i assume but doesn't Forklift do the same? I can activate the action window and see it running from top to bottom while performing an operation (copy, move etc.).

     

    1 hour ago, deanishe said:

    If ForkLift also queues local file operations, I'll probably stop using Path Finder altogether: as noted, it's much easier to open a specific pair of directories in ForkLift.

    So it seems you're currently more often using Forklift especially due to the quick access through your workflow.

    I don’t use a Finder replacement. I used Path Finder for a while

    Interesting, i never actually tried any finder replacements until now. I however always thought that there is something missing in finder. Forklift is the app im currently trying

    and starting to like. Dropshelf is something that reminds me of unclutter, but like @deanishe mentioned it might be a pain to move with a bigger screen isnt it?

     

    Thx for the replys and opinions from both of you so far :)

     

     

  14. On 7/29/2017 at 3:41 PM, deanishe said:

    I think ForkLift is also designed to be a file manager. It's much easier to open a pair of local folders in ForkLift than in Path Finder.

     

    What are you personally thinking is the best Finder replacement? ForkLift gives both things, finder replacement and syncing.

    @vitor I would like to hear your opinion too to this theme.

  15. I see this being really useful for me actually. This way i can sync the server at work with my computer and have always up to date files.

     

    I was looking into other services but haven't found anything decent that doesn't cost a fortune...plus this is a better version than finder.

     

    I mostly use Alfred to navigate through files, but especially at work i handle more files with finder and Alfred together.

     

    Edit: Gotta have to add that i use Hazel to automate file management on my Computer. However the server at work is Windows formated 

    sh*it...sry for the language but its terrible as it can't be indexed and wonderfully searched by Alfred...I don't understand how bigger companies 

    don't use their brain and are ignorant to others opinions to improvement...back to the theme, gonna check out Forklift the next weeks ^^

    I've also sussed out that if I have any print statements in the code to help to debug the python code from the console, that seems to have the effect of stopping the output to Alfred. Is there a way that my Python code can know whether it has been launched from Alfred or from the console?

     

    I've never used BeautifulSoup myself, but here is a working workflow that does what you want i guess:

     

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/p4t8qqfr93evzqr/LazDoc.alfredworkflow?dl=0

     

    import sys
    import httplib2
    from workflow import Workflow, ICON_WEB, web
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, SoupStrainer
    
    def main(wf):
        url = 'http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/'
        response = web.get(url, stream=True)
        
        http = httplib2.Http()
        status, response = http.request('http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/')
        # throw an error if request failed
        # Workflow will catch this and show it to the user
        #response.raise_for_status()
        
        # Parse the response
        for link in BeautifulSoup(response,parseOnlyThese=SoupStrainer('a')):
            if link.has_attr('href'):
                wf.add_item(title=link['href'],arg=link['href'],valid=True,icon= ICON_WEB)
        
    
    # Loop through the returned posts and add an item for each to
    # the list of results for Alfred
    
    #for post in posts:
    #     wf.add_item(title=post['description'],
    #                  subtitle=post['href'],
    #                 icon=ICON_WEB)
    
    # Send the results to Alfred as XML
        wf.send_feedback()
    
    if __name__ == u"__main__":
        wf = Workflow()
        sys.exit(wf.run(main))

    Gonna get some sleep now ^^ @deanishe will probably have a better version tomorrow :) he's the king when it comes to python

    Actually the intrusion by Google, Amazon and Wikipedia seems to happen when Alfred cannot find anything in its disk file indices - presumably because my workflow is bombing out early and not currently sending to Alfred. I've just added a dummy line of output to the workflow and that works!

     

    The workflow i downloaded doesn't have deanishes workflow library oO other than that you gotta have to use 

    python lazdoc.py "{query}" to send the query to the python script and change "with input as argv" to "with input as {query}"

    There are other issues as well. I'm trying to use BeautifulSoup to parse a web page but that's causing me probs as well, Anyhow here's the project as an attachment...

    Erm... I'm trying to attach the project as a zip, but this forum only accepts images as attachments. What's the easiest way to get it to you?

     

     

    https://dropfile.to/ or https://www.dropbox.com/ work the best usually. You can easily export the workflow, that way we'd have what you have which makes

    it easier to debug.
