Alfred Quick File Access
Quickly access recent files, files with a specific tag, files in the current
window, files in the Downloads folder, or trashed files.
Usage
- Search for recently modified files in your home folder and iCloud documents
with the keyword
rec. (Searching for recent files was always a weak point on macOS.) - Access files in your
Downloadsfolder viadl. - Search for files in the front Finder window via
win. - Look for files in your Trash with
trash. - Access files you have assigned a Finder tag of your choice via
tag.
For all fives cases, you can change the keyword in the workflow configuration or set a hotkey.
The following actions are available for all searches: - ⏎: Open the file. - ⌘⏎: Move the file to your front Finder window. - ⌥⏎: Reveal the file in Finder. - ⌃⏎: Copy the file to the clipboard. - ⌘Y: Quick Look the file.
For the tag search: - ⇧⏎: Remove the tag from the file. - If there is only one tagged file or folder, using the hotkey automatically opens it, skipping the selection window.
Installation
This workflow requires ripgrep:
bash
brew install ripgrep
Howto: Ignore folder for recent files search
- Go to the folder you want to ignore.
- Press
cmd+shift+., to show hidden files. - In that folder, create a file named
.ignore, the file content should just be*. This ignores every file in that folder. (If you want more fine-grained control, the file uses the gitignore syntax.) - Press
cmd+shift+.once more, to conceal hidden files again.
About the developer
In my day job, I am a sociologist studying the social mechanisms underlying the digital economy. For my PhD project, I investigate the governance of the app economy and how software ecosystems manage the tension between innovation and compatibility.
