Toggle visibility?

[Neilio]

I'm trying to recreate the hot key support from Alfred 1 where hitting a hot key toggles the visibility of an item. Is there any way to do this natively in Alfred 2 yet (or planned), or do we need to write a script?

This feature is planned for Alfred 2, we have Andrews word for it

In the meantime here is a workflow that can toggle visibility of an app (and open it if it's not running). You can change the App the script is working on in "Run Applescript" by setting the variable "q" to another app name. You can also have multiple hotkeys and applescript modules in the same workflow so you can toggle multiple apps.

There is also another workflow (not by me) that you can find in the alfpt repository.
