pipe transformation workflow for Alfred
An Alfred workflow enabling easy transformation of the current contents of the clipboard by piping through arbitrary shell one-liners.
Requirements
- Alfred (version 2.0+)
- The Alfred Powerpack.
- Python 3 (
xcode-select --install
or Homebrew)
Usage
Trigger the workflow by hotkey or keyword (default=|
, override with the keyword
variable) followed by an arbitrarily simple or complex shell one-liner to transform the contents of the clipboard in-place; optionally use the Cmd
-modifier to immediately paste the results into the foreground app, or the Alt
-modifier to show the results in large type.
Two hotkeys are configurable:
- transform the current contents of the clipboard (like the keyword); recommended hotkey:
Ctrl-Cmd-
- transform the current selection in the foreground app; recommended hotkey:
Ctrl-Cmd-C
When triggered via hotkey, the leading keyword (e.g. |
) is not required.
Examples
- Transform to UPPERCASE:
| perl -nle 'print uc'
or| tr a-z A-Z
- Base64 encode:
| base64
- Base64 decode:
| base64 --decode
- Top 10 unique lines with counts:
| sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10
Built-ins
A number of example pipelines (including those above) are built-in.
Built-ins can be disabled en-mass by setting the load_builtins
variable to any value other than yes
.
Aliases
To save repetitive typing, custom aliases can be defined with the following syntax:
| alias NAME=PIPE | LINE @@@
The trailing @@@
(override with the alias_terminator
variable) terminates the alias definition and causes it to be saved.
Examples
| alias tac=sed '1!G;h;$!d' @@@
| alias top10=sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10 @@@
Alias removal
Any custom alias can be removed with:
| alias NAME=@@@
