Double Cmd to repeat invoking last Alfred action?

[ashkrosh]

Hi,

Let's say I want to repeatadly call "Volume Down" alfred workflow (which I assigned "vd" to that).

Is it possible to use a hotkey like double CMD which finds and repeats latest alfred action or workflow like vd. 

 

The desired outome is:
* I use normal workflow trigger by calling Alfred and typing "vd". This lower the volume once.

*  I press double CMD 3 times, and each time it lowers the volume further.

 

Thanks for your time and help

No, that's not possible. Alfred little idea what a workflow is doing, and blindly re-running one might result in something very bad happening.

 

There are a couple of options. You can assign a Hotkey to your "volume down" action, so you can call it directly without needing to open Alfred first.

 

Alternatively, you can create a workflow that opens Alfred, and simulates the keypress ↑ to choose the previous query, then ↩ to action it. If you assign that to a Hotkey, you can then easily action the previous query again.
