Show snippets in results

[Benben 1]

I know you can use a keyword for showing snippets in the regular alfred serach

and i know there is this seperate snippets search option.

 

My question is is it possible to just show snippets with the regular results together in the search?

 

Thanks,

Ben

Btw - just to explain my goal:

 

I code.

 

I love using snippets. But i also love using advanced snippets (workflows).

 

I want to be able to quickly search (not auto expand text) my snippets and my advanced snippets (workflows),

in one place.

 

For now, i can search snippets in one place and the advanced snippets (workflows) in another,

and it's very inconvenient when you have a lot of snippets (and advanced snippets).

This is indeed the case, and it should be a feature request.

 

Looking forward to official reply.

Have you tried the ? keyword which searches every feature of Alfred including snippets / snippet triggers?

It doesn't trigger it. it opens the workflow settings panel.

@Benben Ah I misinterpreted what you meant by "quickly search (not auto expand text)"

 

I actually have a ticket for adding the Workflow Snippet Trigger results to both the Snippet Viewer, and the snip keyword... which I believe would satisfy what you're looking for.

you mean that any workflow that starts with a snippet trigger will show in the snippets viwer?

 

If that's the case, i guess this will solve my problem  is it planned to be any time soon?

@Benben this is what I mean - It's currently ticketed, but not targeted for a specific release, so I can't give you a timescale... I do agree that this would be useful though.

Ok, Thanks. it would be very useful for me for sure. for now it makes alfred not so useful as a "snippet manager". i guess i will use keymaestro for now. waiting for it to happen
