How to assign keywords to open file or folder?

[mlondon]

I'd like to be able to assign a keyword to open a file or folder.

For example, I'd like to be able to type "ss" to open my Screenshots folder.

 

I'm sure this is easy, but can't figure it out. 

Thank you.

Connect your Keyword Input to an Open File action and drop the path to your Screenshots folder into the File field:

Sorry - I'm a workflow newbie.

 

When I look at the Open File Action page (https://tinyurl.com/yj87fxej) it requires a hotkey using Cmd or Opt or Ctrl or Shift

 

I just want to be able to type "ss" to open my selected folder.

Possible?

Here is an example for this: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/inputs/keyword/

In general you find everything by right clicking in the workflow window. This will show you

all the options as seen here:

The way I do it is that I open the info for the particular file or folder (Get Info) and I put the keyword into the comment/notes section. Then when I want to access that file/folder I put in the prefix ' (or space) and put in the keyword. The file/folder opens up.
