If you are using macOS Catalina or higher version, you can run this command in terminal This tool requires Python3 to be installed at the path /usr/bin/python3. Make sure ~/Documents/ is in the index of you LaunchBar otherwise it would not work. You can later assign an abbreviation for it to access it faster. Next time that item will be searchable directly from LaunchBar by its name.
Well, you can! Just press ⌘ + ⌥ + ↵ on that item.
What if we can create a shortcut for the item and make it accessible directly from LaunchBar without using this tool. We have to first open this action then search then select one. It is a pitty that we cannot create direct entries for DEVONthink items in LaunchBar. Just enter the keyword and it will do a live and prefix search then nicely present the results for you. It learns from your habit so that the items get hitted most will show at the top. The tool aims to let you search and navigate through DEVONthink effectively. The crashing of Drafts is beyond my control but happens repeatedly after certain actions which I simply have to avoid.DEVONthink Launchbar Search Tool What does it do? These shortcuts would be some of the most difficult combinations to type by mistake and essentially ‘useless’ why I’m saving and freeing up more useful shortcuts for other things.) (The hidden secret behind this is the following keyboard shortcuts are actually defined in Drafts: Just take the call, fix the remaining points, fill in some tasks if necessary (which are easily found later with a Work Space for unchecked check boxes) and return to your previous work assured everything has been properly captured according the basic principles in GTD. Who’s calling, why, and what is it about? Are there any legal obligations or actions I have to take after the call? Well, just double tap: ⌘⌘īoom, I have a prefilled draft on the screen with much of the information typed already. In most cases an ordinary shortcut works just fine but say you are extremely busy and just have to take that disturbing but important phone call. ma-ma, da-da, pa-pa, la-la and so on, why I choose shift double tap (⇧⇧) for Drafts Capture and command double tap (⌘⌘) for a prefilled note for an event with the basic questions Who, How, Why, What, When, Where (actually inspired by Rudyard Kipling Kipling’s poem I Keep Six Honest Serving Men). So, analogous to language development in infants it seems one of the most primordial ways of expressing a deliberate message is to repeat a signal, e.g.
One handy thing in Alfred (and even Keyboard Maestro) is that you can choose a double tap of a modifier key to trigger an action. (You may ask Stevie Wonder how he finds the keys on the piano.) The shift key is also very easy to ‘know’ you are pressing even if you cannot see. next to the space bar you have the command key. Well, I found out that certain strategic keys are most easy to reach and ‘know’ you are pressing, especially if the same functions is available both on the right and left side.
SHORTCUTS IN LAUNCHBAR NOT WORKING FREE
What is another easy way to press any desired key, even if you are in the dark, or have only one hand free or happen to have some fingers disabled? if Drafts for some reason isn’t running.īecause of that I have reserved the space bar (with various modifiers) for Alfred, Spotlight and OmniFocus etc.
Now, why on earth would you want to create a keyboard shortcut in Alfred(!) for actions in Drafts when those options are already available-in Drafts?! Sounds crazy, and maybe it is but as an automization nerd I wanted the fastest, easiest and safest keystrokes to trigger my most needed and common actions regardless of external as well as internal conditions-e.g. Sorry, I (thought everyone in his thread was into Alfred and) was sloppy to explain.Īlfred is a versatile multipurpose tool where you can easily create keyboard shortcuts to trigger actions.
