tomer Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I would like to store and update snippets without accessing the actual alfred preferences simply from the quick prompt, is there a way to do this? Something like CMD-SPACE then I write "save snippet ll=ls -la" and next time I access snippet ll from alfred it would copy to clipboard "ls -la" Edited January 16, 2021 by tomer Link to comment
deanishe Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 You can create a snippet from the clipboard history with ⌘S. Link to comment
tomer Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Sorry but I did not understand. I click on keyboard ALT-SPACE which opens on my mac alfred. Then I want to say in the textbox that alfred opened "create snippet somekey=somevalue" of snippet Or ALT-SPACE (open alfred mac textbox) then I want to write something like "update snippet somekey=someothervalue" to update that snippet with key somekey. So that I do not need to get to alfred preferences in order to manage the snippets.. Wanted to know if something like this already exists please as it's sounds like something basic to avoid going to preferences to manage snippets. thanks.

deanishe Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Alfred's clipboard history. That's the standard way to quickly create new snippets. So you copy the contents of your new snippet to the clipboard, open Alfred's clipboard history, and hit ⌘S. Link to comment
tomer Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 thanks that was interesting didn't expect the save snippet to open when I click command-S on the clipboard history. Link to comment
