![]() ![]() Like I have one for Zoom that will show me a list of zoom rooms I regularly connect to (Daily Standup, my boss, my coworker, my Bad Movie Night group, etc). That example is super-custom to me but I have other that are more general-use. I play with different sets of mods depending on how I'm feeling and so I have a workflow that I type "Factorio", then select my "Launch Factorio" workflow from the list Alfred provides, then Alfred gives me a list of my mod packs, I select one, and it launches Factorio after symlinking the mods/saves into the right place. For example, I have a workflow for launching different versions+mods for a game I like (Factorio). I know that sounds vague but that's because it's so open-ended. You can do a number of cool things with Alfred like creating "workflows" to create your own little mini-programs to do various actions. ![]() In fact when spotlight stepped up its game I was a little worried Alfred has been Sherlocked or that the developer might stop supporting it but thankfully that's not the case. It also doesn’t replace said shortcut yet, defaulting to Alt+Space at the moment.If you are only looking to launch apps, do a few math calculations, and maybe search for files then Spotlight probably has you covered. Unfortunately, it’s pretty barebones at the moment though the feature has lofty aspirations, it can’t actually run everything you can with old Win + R command yet. To start off, Microsoft is building in the features of Wox and Window Walker into PowerToys Run, but in the future, you’ll be able to add plugins, custom web searches, snippets and more. ![]() According to The Verge, the new tool will eventually be able to support all the same commands as before, but also be able to incorporate more features along the way, including plugins to customize the launcher to your needs. The idea is to make the Run launcher a more elegant, functional, and customizable tool for power users more akin to Apple’s Spotlight.įor power users, the run command tends to be useful for quickly accessing system tools like the registry tool (regedit) or the startup utility(msconfig), and quickly running cmd commands. Today at its online-only Build 2020, Microsoft announced an optional, open-source replacement for the command, dubbed PowerToys Run. It’s a command any Windows power-user is familiar with, but the Run launcher has remained basically unchanged for generations. ![]()
