Great workflow, thanks!

Is there a way for individual users to modify this for the apps they choose?

 

I tried unzipping the workflow, editing shortcuts.py and rezipping into cheatsheet.workflow but when I went to install it said "document could not be opened".

Right-click on the workflow in Alfred Preferences and choose Open in Finder so you can edit its files.

@edbro you don't need to unzip and zip back. Just open it through alfred workflow preferences (right click on workflow -> open in terminal/finder) and edit the shortcuts.py file in there. The shortcuts.py file generates a cPickle file that the workflow reads, so you need to run [python shortcuts.py] to update the cheatsheet_default.pkl file.

I don't recommend this because it will be overwritten by any update I make. The simplest way for now might be to add make your changes in a separate object and keep track of those changes outside of the workflow. I am still working on a feature to allow user-specific shortcuts from the datastore.

Awesome!

 

Would it be possible to add:

- Photoshop

- Illustrator

- Sketch

 

Thank you!

[mutasem]

All added. 

[politicus]

I modified the Show iTunes mini player keyboard shortcut in Alfred and the default keyboard shortcut appears in the workflow. 

[mutasem]

You have to run the shortcuts.py code, because it generates a cPickle file that's faster to read from.

> python shortcuts.py

Any changes will be overwritten by any update. I will try to add the feature to allow user-specific shortcuts as soon as I can. I already redid the structure to split the modules into several files instead of one big one.

Just released a new version that's customizable, with added support for Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Word. You can easily find the custom.json file to edit from the workflow itself, or overwrite any defaults from the workflow too. To update, you can wait for the workflow to give you the option to update (it checks once a day), or you can just enter [cheatsheet workflow:update] into Alfred. Enjoy 

[mutasem]

@politicus @edbro any feedback on newly added customization?

I haven't figured out how yet. 

[mutasem]

@edbro are you sure you have updated? can you find Safari in the list? If not, type in [cheatsheet workflow:update] to force an update. I just added two gifs on customization to the github

Got it! I followed the example and now have a custom set of keywords! Thank you very much.

@mutasem Here is my feedback. 

[mutasem]

@politicus this is clearly an issue with your custom.json file. I think the issue is that you are adding extra data after the main json object outside of the main curly brackets {}. As such, it cannot load a faulty json file. To fix this, Sublime has plugins for fixing jsons or use an online tool. Or go down to line 7 - 11 and try to fix it yourself. Or post here so we can help you fix it. I attached a photo of what my json looks like with multiple apps (the custom_app_example is generated automatically to help users).

Not even a "thank you" for adding 12 new apps? 

[politicus]

@mutasem Sorry for the late reply. 

 

Thanks for your answer. Downloading the workflow latest version and fixing the .json file made it. 

 

And thank you forget for the 12 added applications cc @deanishe 

 

Alphabetically reordering the list of the supported applications in your first post would be helpful 

[mutasem]

List updated. Added support for IntelliJ, Slack and Evernote.
