Could I use Alfred as a better folder shortcut utility with a bit of custom coding? GOAL: Add a ‘GET’ Command to the Alfred Hotbar The problem with using Default Folder X is that it still opens a Finder window (UGH). Usually I have to dig through Finder windows (annoying) or use use Default Folder X to jump to it. I wondered if I could use Alfred’s Workflows to automate opening my essential folders. Previously, my Dock was loaded with the entire Adobe Creative Suite, a dozen development-related programs, and several audio production tools as well. For now, I’m using it to quickly open applications from the keyboard, which has allowed me to declutter my MacOS Dock so only chat apps (Slack, Discord, etc) are there. It’s has a lot more features than Spotlight, and I’m only just starting to dig into them. I am easily confused by butler-themed software branding, apparently.īut I digress. I had heard of Alfred before, but had thought it was somehow related to Ask Jeeves, a search engine from the 1990s that did not impress me. Wait until you discover, then your mind will be truly blown- Al Briggs August 16, 2018 does it allll for me!- Fern Lim August 19, 2018 How DID you live without it?! I allow no unopened apps in my dock. Sharing this sentiment on twitter, I got a couple interesting responses regarding Alfred, a supercharged version of Spotlight: Since I don’t like the Finder at all, I was very excited by this and marveled that it had taken me so long to discover it. Last week I discovered Spotlight could quickly open and find files for me without having to dig around in the Finder. I’ve used/owned Macs since the early 1990s, but used Windows PCs for my serious work until 2013.
