dfay Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm thinking still about using Alfred to replace TextExpander. TE allows snippets to run scripts. Alfred has snippets....and Alfred workflows can run scripts. So how about allowing Alfred snippets to be workflow triggers? And to go with this -- add a "Type Text" workflow output (with the option of replacing the incoming snippet). It seems like these would open up a whole lot of automation options, by linking up two existing features, and sticking with the paradigm that folks are used to in building Alfred workflows.

JohnB Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 +1 too .. would love to have a snippet trigger workflows and/or scripts. My use case would be for doing flexible date insertions like this from Brett Terpstra: http://brettterpstra.com/2016/11/14/natural-language-dates-anywhere-with-keyboard-maestro/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
