Enumerate all defined Hotkeys across workflows?

[luckman212]

Before I go too far down a rabbit hole, I came here for a sanity check...

 

What I'm after is to be able to programmatically generate a list of all defined hotkeys across my entire workflows collection. I briefly looked at iterating though each Info.plist from the Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.{UUID}/info.plist and trying to parse out the details using some XML tools... but that seems like a medium sized undertaking and if there's any other simpler or more reliable way I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks guys

Nope, I don't think so. Parsing all the info.plist files is the most reasonable option, and it's not entirely straightforward unless you're doing it in ObjC/Swift:

Thanks @deanishe - I figured I wasn't the only one who would want something like this. Maybe @Andrew would consider making this info more accessible somehow, expose an API or something. Anyway, @Acidham's workflow is neat. I'll keep an eye on it.

@dfay great! That's what I was looking for. I will try to use the mapping in list_hotkey.py for my workflow!

Thanks guys for the help!

 

fyi: https://github.com/Acidham/search-alfred-workflows is now supporting keyboard shortcuts!

@Acidham really slick workflow! I love this.

 

The quicklook popup in Markdown is pretty cool, but I don't have a good QL markdown plugin, so it just renders as plaintext. Got any suggestions?

Depends on why you want to get the list. If all you want to do is see all your Hotkeys in Alfred (e.g. in a Script Filter), all you need is to type ?hotkey.

Try this one for Catalina: https://github.com/toland/qlmarkdown
