Keyword to show the actions panel for the currently selected file(s)

[Kudusch]

In Alfred 1 you could bring up the actions panel by typing "action" into Alfred.

 

Is this possible with Alfred 2? Am I missing something?

That action was available for file's selected in Finder. This is still available but is available as a hotkey. Select the file you want to action and press Cmd+Opt+\

Thanks for the quick answer!

 

Is there a way to have this feature triggered by a keyword?

 

If not, it would be awesome if this would be a feature again.

It could be done with a workflow to simulate the hotkey?

[Kudusch]

This would be a workaround, yes.

 

I'd still appreciate a way to do this natively by a keyword.

That's my number one feature request, right now

The main difference now is that Alfred can operate on files in any selected application, not just finder. When using a keyword, Alfred is the focused Application so Alfred doesn't know where to take the files from. When using the hotkey, the focused app is the app Alfred takes files from.

Thanks for the answer, Andrew. That explains it.

 

Then I'll go and write a workflow for the finder selection.
