possible to pass "enter" key through text arguments?

[lmachado]

Apologies in advance if this question is already answered somewhere...I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but I spent quite a while googling and searching this forum to no avail...

 

Is it possible to pass the "enter"/"return" key through the "text" argument field? currently when I want to execute the workflow I need to hit the hotkey and then hit "enter" manually so that alfred executes the command...I would like for the hotkey to execute the command on its own without me having to hit "enter" separately. Is this possible?

 

Or do I need to do this by modifying the script? If so, what's the correct way to tell the script to do this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Could you provide us with a link to the workflow in question? It’s difficult to help with your problem when we have no real notion of the specifics of its functionality.

i'm using the workflow found in the final post in this thread (post by BigHandsome) - I've embedded his post below.

 

I've set F10 as my hotkey for "volume up":

I really like your volume script.  However, I really wanted to be able to use the true mute functionality.  I have added mute, added some error checking, and changed how level works to account for mute.  Please let me know what you think.  I would love some feedback!

Easy fix. You’re just making the connections to the wrong node.

[lmachado]

that worked! thanks so much! 

 

now i'm trying to figure out how to use that workflow to bind mute/unmute to F8...looking through the script, it looks like mute and unmute are done using two separate arguments...so how can I set up a single hotkey to do both?

You just need mute and unmute, instead of up and down.

i thought so, but alfred won't let me assign the same hotkey (ie F8) twice...how do i get around that?

 

also, when i hook up "mute" to the applescript node and trigger it, the notification saying "The volume has been muted" pops up, but nothing else happens - my computer's volume remains unmuted...any idea why?

 

Thanks again!

If you're trying to do a single hotkey for mute/unmute, then just send it the same argument but have it check the state of mute/unmute and make it register the opposite. So, instead of it being mute/unmute, think of it as Toggle Mute.
