How to add custom shortcuts and more to Alfred Preferences with Keyboard Maestro.

[nikivi]

I've been a big user of both KM and Alfred for quite some time now.

 

One thing that I love about both of these tools is how they can supplement each other.

 

For example you are forced to using your mouse to create objects in Alfred Preferences. I hated that. So I created macros to help me create objects in Alfred from KM either through keystrokes or searching for an action directly from Alfred (https://github.com/iansinnott/alfred-maestro).

 

Here is a quick screencast of it in action :

I will publish quite a lot of these little macros on my GitHub page soon. I am also self documenting my own workflow in form of mind maps. I still have a lot to fill for it but with time I will have everything documented.

 

For example here are ways in which I utilise my applications:

And here is how I utilise Karabiner and its keyboard customisations :

I hope some find it interesting.

I also added some information on how I approach building workflows :

Here it is as image : 

 

 

 

 

Maybe some will find it useful. I sure would appreciate if I have found this when I only started out making workflows.

 

I will also expand on this with time as I get more experience and maybe split it into development and publishing sections.
