keyword trigger and typed url

[sepulchra]

I don't know if this is a setting but I often create keywords that begin  with "." so i don't have conflicts. For example ".inv" takes me to a folder path where I store invoices. I've recently noticed that when I type keywords that begin with "." I also am shown the option to open the typed url. Is there a way to not display that result when using "." in the beginning of my keyword triggers?

Sorry this is not an direct reply to your question but the way in which I store my favourite folders is to use a List Filter triggered by a keyword (gf in my case for "go to folder”). Of course, whether or not that idea is actually helpful rather depends on how many folders you need to cover. 😀

thanks @Stephen_C this is helpful. I do still wonder why using a "." to begin a keyword triggers the URL fallback. I suspect it is because urls end with .com or dot something.

I shouldn't stick out my neck on this because when I do I'm invariably wrong. However, try going to Alfred → Preferences → Web Search and un-checking Recognise URLs… and see if that helps. It seems to work for me.

that works but i also had "Treat URL schemes without // as URLs" unchecked -- and i thought that would have also solved it but did not
