I prefix things. 

 
General category is actually my normal mode category. But I use few profiles for programming things. The only difference between these profiles is the P sticky key does different things.
 
The general profile is my Go profile. So P + f will insert `fmt.Println()` or P + G to insert log.Printf() and move caret between brackets (I use that a lot for debugging).
 
Also P + W will insert `workflow:` which is @deanishe AwGo library magic argument for workflows. I try to write many workflows, often failing but still trying.
 
And then I use this to switch between profiles:
 

 
I optimise things for fast retrieval and memory. So I can do anything as fast as 1 second and I always can query things in case I forget something. I also structure things to scale.
 
Also the only keys that are not sticky for me are HJKL because sVim and vim mode.
 

When TextExpander pulled their money and data grab, Alfred’s snippet expansion was extremely limited (didn’t even have a cursor macro). I had an old Typinator licence, so it was cheap to upgrade, and it imported TextExpander snippets almost perfectly.
 
I don’t do anything super-advanced with snippets*, but I do use forms quite a bit to enter multiple values. AFAIK, with Alfred you’d need to write a workflow to do that, which is an awful lot more work. Maybe 60 minutes to do what takes 60 seconds in Typinator.
 
Also, Typinator expands more reliably.
 
* I use native snippet engines when coding. An engine built into the editor is far more powerful, as it can use the editor’s own API instead of the clipboard and simulated keypresses.

My delete key is S + D.
 
All my configuration is mapped as a map here. It's easier to navigate it if you own MindNode and you download it locally.
 
I wish there was a Karabiner remapping forum available. I would live there.

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. 
 
 
I share my Typinator snippets here.
 
I also share my KM macros here. I am in the process of fully moving nearly all my KM macros there. And if you use SnippetsLab, you can import my snippet library here if you want.
 
I try to make my entire workflow and everything fully transparent and interchangeable so you or anyone else can pick out pieces of my workflow you like and use it or just steal ideas from.

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. 

@nikivi, @JimmyTheSaint Here's Niki's epic post (the thread is hidden, not deleted):
 
If you really care about saving keystrokes, I advise you to look into Karabiner.

I have over 500 or so workflows I use and I can access anyone of them from one keystroke. Just one. 
 
I nearly never use Alfred default (cmd + space) interface (It is single press of right command or jl keys together for me). Because Alfred has this awesome feature of making super focused searches for anything I wish to search and creating external triggers for them I can then call from Karabiner.
 
So there is literally no use to have default search aside from opening some applications which I also open from single keystroke in Keyboard Maestro.
 
 
 
The most exciting thing about Karabiner and making every key on the keyboard into a modifier key is that there are literally thousands of keys you can fill and customise. Where accessing any one of these keys (which can map to workflows / Keyboard Maestro macros ..) is literally 1 second away. Compared to (1. opening Alfred 2. searching for trigger).
 
It's kind of insane if you think about what it really enables you to do. You can even create extra virtual layers of keys with Keyboard Maestro palettes. For example I have space key modifier to accessing different palettes. I can then space (held) + e and quickly enter an emoji insert palette:
 
 
So inserting ? is space + e + a and emoji is there. And in case I forget what key ? is. The palette can remind me. So you can do anything you can dream of in two-three keystrokes. Of course emoji palette is just an example, you can run some more complex macros or workflows if you so wish.
 
Just as an example, because this forum uses some weird markup and is not markdown, I am forced to use @vitor's MarkdownTransform workflow. So I can then just select some text and press t + b and it will convert the selected text into BBCode. Where t is my modifier and b is the action key to press if t is held down (b for BBCode). If I didn't have Karabiner, I would either will need to remember some cryptic hotkey like ⇧⌘⌃+B or something. Because hotkeys are scarce and they will run out quickly. Or open Alfred and start searching for a trigger to do this but that takes too many keystrokes.
 
Setting @deanishe's Searchio to JK pressed together and J + : pressed together to access currently open Safari tabs with Safari Assist is life changing already. Or LM to search my safari bookmarks and LN to search chrome bookmarks. Or setting s + hjkl to mimic arrow keys (How about vim everywhere?). This list goes on.
 
It's quite strange but I sometimes check on the internet if anyone actually uses Karabiner too in this way and I never found another person. Would be awesome to see other people's setups and what they made.

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

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

Look up macOS error numbers

Usage

errno [<query>] — Look up an error in Alfred

↩ — Show error details in a Large Type window ⌘↩ — Show file where error is defined in Finder

Typinator. Stupid name, and not as pretty as TextExpander, but it imported all my TE snippets almost perfectly, and can do everything TE can.
 
With snippet triggers, I guess Alfred can now technically do everything I want, but I have quite a few "form"-type snippets with multiple placeholders, and have little interest in trying to replicate them using Alfred.
 
It'd take a very long time and wouldn't work as well.

I'm not sure I'd eat a burger called "McFrozen". Sounds like "McUncooked". I bet you'd eat a "McMett", wouldn't you? Igittigitt

Here is a workflow that can do it:
 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5kth8ri3yyoku3q/replacer.alfredworkflow?dl=0
 
basically select whatever you want to change the quotes of and press ⌘+⇧+C. It will change the quotes and paste the result.
 

More like Mr. X....Frozen X  McFrozen sounds like a burger lol xD

That's why I use File Filters or workflows for all file searches.
 

Like Dean said, Alfred will suggest the URL however you can just use the "Quick file search mode" which would let you search for files only.
Alfred Preferences → Features → File Search → Quick Search
 
That way you just press space after launching Alfred and you'll search for files only.

I love the remote feature of Alfred.  I use it to control Spotify, iTunes, and resize windows from my phone.  The only thing that bothers me about it is that I have to unlock my phone and navigate back to the remote app to use it.  This proves problematic, or at least inconvenient, when I am watching a movie and want to play/pause because someone came into the room, but it takes 15-30 seconds to get the app open.
 
I would love to see a widget in the notification center of iOS that allows users to select remote buttons to display from any screen on their iPhone/iPad.  Ideally, this would be resizable so one could have a single row (such as play/pause, vol+, vol-, mute) or multiple rows to control other things as well.  This would be a swipe and a tap away rather than the current fingerprint (and passcode when it it doesn't work), swipe, tap the folder, tap the app, wait for it to load, tap the button.  I think we can all agree on which option is better...

Hello everyone,
 
here is a small Alfred v3 workflow to toggle mute in Skype
You can mute Skype via the keyword "smute", it will show you whether it's already muted or not(MUTE OFF/ON).
 
Keyword: "smute"
 
Example:

Hello everyone,
 
it would be pretty cool if it would be possible to select multiple Files, Clips or whatever from the Clipboard history and paste it.
For instance:
 
I would have copied a few files and wanna paste them. Here is an example:

 
If i could now just press Shift+Arrow down to select multiple items and then just paste them that would be awesome 
If there is another way then lemme know, but else this would be decent to have.
 
Another addition to that would be the ability to change the Shortcut for adding files to the file buffer. Something like
⌘+C and ⌘+V would make the file Buffer/Navigation even better
 
Cheers,
 
Frozen

@FroZen_X I'm working on it in my spare time, but I didn't find a good and reliable way to switch to the window on a different desktop. But it is on my todo list, I use a few spaces occasionally.

There is a bug in my (unofficial) Alfred-Workflow library that causes very many workflows using it to hang quite dramatically on Sierra.
 
If you are affected (i.e. you see Alfred's CPU usage spike to 100%), Activity Monitor will show two Python processes like this (choose View > All Processes, Hierarchically), with the bottom one at ~99% CPU (this screenshot is actually of a non-misbehaving workflow):
 

 
Download and run this workflow, which will update any old versions of Alfred-Workflow in your installed workflows.
 
That should get your workflows working again until the workflow developers can push official fixes.
 

I personally use Alfreds file search in combination with the "Quick File Search Mode", but i've made you a small workflow that let's you select
a file/folder to create a alias for and then a folder where you want it to be saved to.
 
Here you go(I assume you have Alfred 3): https://www.dropbox.com/s/g4clxs0pmy7p14l/Create%20Alias.alfredworkflow?dl=0
 

This workflow is officially deprecated if favour of Alfred’s Dispatch Key Combo Output. You can find the old source on Github.
 
Quick reference for when you need to tell application "System Events" to key code in AppleScript. Call it with kc.
