? Shortcut in Alfred available to Open a Safari window at YouTube site

Just wondering if it is possible in Alfred to:

1. Open a new Safari Window

2. Such that this window would be populated by the general YouTube website 

 

In other words for ex.  I  type Ctrl + Y and up pops a Safari window at the base YouTube site

 

As in:   CTRL + Y  = https://www.youtube.com

Yes, it's easy to do what you want. Simply connect a Hotkey Trigger to an Open URL Action—just putting in the latter the YouTube URL you wish to open and ensuring you've selected Safari as the browser in which to open the URL (which will happen automatically if Safari is your default browser).

To open a new window specifically, there’s an Automation Task for that.

Thanks for the reply folks.  

Stephen_C  I used your suggestion after I figured out that I had to have the YouTube URL on my computer, i.e. link on desktop.  I could not just open Safari then YouTube and copy or drag the link over to Alfred. In the end I figured it out, thanks a lot.

 

Vitor  I will have to investigate your tip and read up on Automation Task. Thanks also for taking time to reply to my request.

 

This is a great forum to solicit assistance.
