With a Script Filter, when selecting an option, replace the current keyword with a new one

[Gary King]

I'd like to create a Script Filter, where when the user selects an option, then the current Alfred keyword is replaced with a new one.

 

So for instance, the user types in "test " (with a space at the end), and then the script shows the options dropdown, and the user picks one and hits Enter, then the keyword now shows "test one", and my script will then show a new set of options.

 

How can I do this with Alfred? Is it possible to do by connecting one Script Filter to another?

 

Thanks!

(Assuming your keyword is test.) Set valid to false on your item and autocomplete to one. That way, when the user hits ↩ or ⇥, the query passed to your script will now be one.

Ah excellent thanks. It isn't clear at first that this is the way to go, since I rarely use those fields in the JSON output, but they are indeed very useful here.
