Look up people in your by just typing their name. You can even save snippets of things (like in TextExpander) that you wind up using often.
And with Alfred 1.2 you can now append to the current clipboard item and then paste that.
This is my fav of all the Powerpack add-ons, built in clipboard history. Look up definitions or find the right spellings in a few seconds. Quick what’s (3+4)/2*8+10? Yeah, with Alfred you start with the “=” (enable the advanced calculator in the preferences) type it in and the result is there to copy (38 is the answer). Oh, and it’s not just Google, it’s Bing, Yahoo!, Amazon, eBay, IMDb, even your Gmail and Google Docs, and even more. Sure it’s simple, but just start your Google (or other engine) search with a couple taps and your fingers barely have to leave the keyboard. Found what you’re looking for? Email it, open it, go to it, even delete it. Sure Spotlight is great and doing a search in a Finder window when you’re in a Finder window is convenient, but what if you aren’t? Start with “find” and Alfred will search through all your files or use “in” and Alfred will search within your files instead. If “shutdown” doesn’t work, maybe “abort”. You can even change the default commands so if “emptytrash” is too pedestrian you could use “eradicate”. Need to quickly lock your machine to step away? How about empty the trash without your hands moving to the mouse? Oh yes, all of these and more are right at your fingertips with Alfred. The thing is that some of the most useful shortcuts come with the Powerpack.
OPEN ALFRED 4 FREE
Yes, the free version of Alfred is great, more than half of my favorite things to do with it are core to the free version.
