Hotkey To Select Text Service

[DanielParadise]

Hello! I recently had to reformat my drive and lost all my workflows and I remember having one that went something like this:

 

Select Text > Press Hotkey > Mac OS X Service list (in Alfred)

 

In a little more detail, I've setup Brett Terpstra's Markdown Services which all start with md - [Service Name]. I use them to wrap selections of text in parentheses or square brackets. So I had the workflow set to activate on double command. I'd select my text, hit double command and type "md". A list of all the markdown services came up within Alfred and I could select the one I wanted.

 

I searched the forums and found this, but the link within that forum post does not work.

 

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

deanishe Thank you! Yes, that's it! I'm not sure if I was just running on too few brain cells or if my search queries for formatted wrong but when I searched for that workflow (because that is the EXACT one I had before) I could not find it! Thank you so much! You've made my day! 

 

Sincerely, 
Dan Paradise

I'm just happy to hear someone's using the workflow.
