Ramshank Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not sure if an extension already exists for Alfred to do this, if it does please let me know. I'd love to be able to type "Clean" and be able to clean my keyboard without confusing my mac. Suggestions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If you have a bluetooth keyboard... one idea could be to adapt the bluetooth toggle workflow to turn off bluetooth for 20 seconds or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramshank Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 That's an excellent idea! Except I'm on a laptop. I know theres a menu bar app I can get... but I'm sure it's within Alfred's power without having to install a 3rd party app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramshank Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 There's a command line which disables the keyboard for the laptops: sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext And enables it again: sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBTopCase.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBTCKeyboard.kext However it requires the input of the admin password... making this a new feature or a workflow is beyond my skills. Any thoughts? The other option is to open a blank textedit file that swallows the typed gibberish...not beyond my skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
