daylightcome Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I like Alfred, you guys have done really well, but I can't switch because of these differences. Any guidance would be appreciated. Defining a word Spotlight: <word> - Large definition display in window Alfred: define <word> - Small definition display in 1 row Currency convert Spotlight: $100 - Converts to my system locale's currency Alfred: c 50 usd to eur - Have to install plugin and type "c" keyword Find a file Spotlight: <file name> Alfred: find <file name> Just a few examples. I have the powerpack. Any way to avoid typing the keywords and make these things a bit faster for me? Link to comment

You can create or copy-paste the script filter object, set the keyword to $ and enter this in the Script text field: ./alfred-soulvercore "$1 usd to eur". This will call the equivalent of your c $1 usd to eur query.

In `Preferences > Features > Dictionary' you can also replace “define” with a shorter keyword. The small 1-line preview has also been bothering me for a while though. I’ve just been looking into it, and it should be easy enough to create a workflow that provides a QuickLook preview. I’ll come back to this when I find the time.
