Newbie - how to set hot key to open apps bypassing Alfred's hot key

[Chilomeno]

Hi there,

 

I've set Alfred's hot key to commad-space.  Is it possible to set hot keys within Alfred to open applications (e.,g Word, Excel, etc.) without having to use Alfred's hotkey itself?  That is, can I set Alfred to open Word by just pressing "w" or an unassigned function key?

 

Many thanks for your feedback!

Yes you can access what you want with a hotkey. 

 

It's in Templates>Files & Apps>Launch file group from hotkey

Hi Ddyracer,

 

Thank you for your prompt reply but please excuse my ignorance.  In Alfred's preferences I cannot find Templates anywhere : (

 

Could you please point me in the right direction?

In order to use the Workflows feature, you'll need the Powerpack. You can see more info and buy the Powerpack on our website:

http://alfredapp.com/powerpack

 

You'll then be able to use the workflows, which include hotkeys

Thank you Vero.  I'll do so on Monday!
