Automatically hit (Enter) after typing keyword?

[dogen]

Hello everyone!

 

I use short, specific, two letter keywords like "pt" to trigger workflows extremely frequently, and was wondering if there is any way to make it such that the (Enter) key is hit automatically after I type these keywords?

 

In other words, rather than:

1. Summon Alfred

2. Type keyword (such as "pt")

3. Press enter

 

I'd like to remove step three such that the workflow is automatically initiated immediately after I type "pt" within Alfred. Is there any way to do this?

 

Thank you all very much for your time!

@dogen this isn't possible, but the task you describe is better suited to using a Hotkey Trigger rather than Keyword. This way, you wouldn't even need to show Alfred, just use the assigned key combo to run the workflow.

Hi Andrew! Thanks so much for the reply. I’m actually asking because I already use so many hotkey triggers that I’m starting to lose track, and using sequences like these makes things much more manageable, as I can choose letter combinations that are intuitive (for example, the above ‘PT’ triggers my ‘prepare template’ workflow). Understood that it’s not possible however—hopefully sometime in the future! Thank you for your time.
