Only use modifier key as shortcut

[ridmaur]

In Alfred v1 I used the trick (given to me by the developers, but I can't recall how it worked) to specify only tapping the Command-key in order to bring up Alfred. Will that still be possible with v2 and if so, how to do this?

 

Thanks

This was a bit of a legacy hidden thing left in v1 which hasn't made it to v2 (which was created and rewritten from the ground up).

 

I have a dev ticket to look into alternatives for this during a v2.x release

I know that you can currently use a double-tapped modifier key (e.g. hit ⌘ twice). No single-tapped modifier keys, though.

Just tapping command to bring up alfred would be an awesome feature and I hope it makes into future release. Currently, I have tape F5 once but would rather have a key closer to where I type often

You can still use KeyRemap4MacBook:

 

<autogen>__KeyOverlaidModifier__ KeyCode::COMMAND_L, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::COMMAND_L, KeyCode::F19</autogen>

<autogen>__KeyOverlaidModifier__ KeyCode::COMMAND_R, ModifierFlag::COMMAND_R | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::COMMAND_R, KeyCode::F19</autogen>

 

<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::COMMAND_R, KeyCode::F19</autogen>

Thanks Andrew, would love to see this feature being brought back to v2. It is very difficult to get used to another key sequence as I was using single Command-press with QuickSilver as well.

 

Thanks,
