kevinmp Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 It would be great to be able to start a web search from a hotkey. For example, rather than "cmd/space wiki xyz" or "cmd/space imdb zyx"I could just type "F1 xyz" or F2 "zyx". This would be even more powerful if combined with the ability to remember the last typed parameter (q.v.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an example I created, where (once you set it) your hotkey will allow you to launch a Google web search without prefixing it with "google": https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5818788/Alfred/Hotkey%20to%20Google%20search.alfredworkflow You can then modify it to launch a different web search or launch in a specific browser for example.
