Anyway to launch some sort of popup note or text box through Alfred?

[CincyTriGuy]

I have a note in the macOS Notes app that I use to keep track of keyboard shortcuts for various apps. It seems like this is a growing list as I'm adding more and more for different apps.

 

It would be really cool if I could type a shortcut into Alfred and it launched some sort of note that popped up a iist of my keyboard shortcuts for reference and then I could just escape out of the popup - instead of launching a separate app that I would need to quit. 

 

I hope that makes sense. Any ideas if something like this is possible? Does Alfred have native capabilities to display a text popup?

 

And for the record I'm not suggesting that this "note" automatically tracks my keyboard shortcuts across apps, I'm just talking about a static list that I can edit and somehow easily call up with Alfred.

Looks like you might benefit from EVE more than from your current setup.

But if you still want to go with your original idea, what you can do is save a .txt file and then tell Alfred to quicklook it. A Run Script with qlmanage -p /path/to/your/file should suffice.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll take a look at Eve, and doing a quicklook with a text file would also work too, I should have thought of that.
