pseudometa Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Played a bit around with the 5.5 Beta and textview. Came up with this very simple workflow, consisting completely of building blocks provided by Alfred (no code). It brings up a simple scratchpad via hotkey, and hides the scratchpad again with the same hotkey. The file content can be saved via cmd+enter, and previewed via shift+enter. Main caveat of this workflow is that cmd+enter is the *only* available method of saving the content – cmd+s does not work, and (as far as I can tell) it's not possible to have the note content saved when using esc on the text view. Simple solution, which nonetheless replaced my need for a separate scratchpad app https://transfer.archivete.am/XI9sH/QuickPad.alfredworkflow Grug and JJJJ 1 1 Link to comment
sepulchra Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 This great. I've built something similar and also have been futzing with a tot replacement that essentially triggers a filefilter that has five different scratch pad documents where the the write to text action appends plain text. Been looking at your tot workflow as a bit of a model. Link to comment
andy4222 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 This is useful @pseudometa. Any way the text view can remain floating above other apps? Right now if move the focus away from the text view, it disappears Link to comment

dfay Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Is it possible to make it persist and receive text from Alfred's clipboard history / snippet viewer? This may need to be a request to @Andrew .... thanks! sepulchra and JJJJ 2 Link to comment
