Open settings/preferences

[fmr]

Is there an easy way to open the alfred settings using alfred?

 

Either directly or as part of a workflow.

I'm not sure what you mean, but 'command + ,' opens preferences in most osx applications including Alfred.

I'm not sure what exactly it is that you are looking to do but as Jonas suggested, you can pop up Alfred using Cmd+Space (or whatever your hotkey of choice is), then press Cmd+, will open the preferences window. You can also pop up Alfred and type 'preferences' and 'Show Alfred Preferences' should be one of your actionable results. Or, finally, if you meant from a script:

tell application "Alfred 2"
activate
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "," using {command down}
end tell

 

That would activate Alfred and send the Cmd+, keystroke for you and show the preferences.

Hmm.  this option doesn't work for me.

 

Thanks for the anwers, both of you.  For some reason I didn't think of the CMD-SPACE, CMD-, combo, but this was what I wanted.
