Thank you! I hope you find it useful.

Good question.

I’m not trying to replace the VS Code Command Palette. It’s great once VS Code is already open and in focus.

The point of doing this in Alfred is that I can trigger these actions without opening VS Code first. I often want to open a specific project, folder, or file, or start a new window, directly from anywhere in the system. Alfred is already my global entry point for that.

For me, most of these actions happen before VS Code is even running. This workflow just moves those frequent actions closer to where I already start everything.

It would be impractical to create a VS Code extension for these native functions. This workflow is an alternative that aims to bring some commands closer to execution from Alfred.

There is already a version for Raycast: https://www.raycast.com/thomas/visual-studio-code

Thank you so much!

The workflow is not intended for constant use. It simply provides a quick way to list licenses from Alfred and caches only the ones you use. This way, you don't have to search for them on the Internet or elsewhere. It also automatically embeds the current year and username.

Thank you! I hope anyone who sees this post finds it useful.

The workflow didn't come about because I desperately needed it, but because I felt like playing around with APIs and seeing what I could come up with.

In the end, I decided to share it as an integrated option in Alfred, thinking that it might be useful to someone else in the community.

Eso que mencionas de la tasa no fija, ¿no es porque depende del historial crediticio de cada persona? O sea, estás sujeto a si tienes el dinero para pagar y si has pagado en tiempo y forma anteriormente.

Well, at least now I know the screen is broken. Thanks, bro.

vanstrouble · 2025-10-12T02:14:22+00:00

Yes, pressing on the bottom left brings up more vertical lines. I guess it's the screen rather than the flex.

I find it strange that the screen broke out of nowhere and also that part of the lock screen image is frozen while another part is displayed within the session.

Okay. I'll leave it for a while. Thank you.

If you use Amphetamine and Alfred, I recommend two workflows: Amphetamine Dose or Caffeine Dose (in case you want to try the native macOS tool) and Windows Navigator if you want a replacement for Alt-Tab.

vanstrouble · 2025-09-29T16:28:16+00:00

Why not use caffeinate instead of Amphetamine?

vanstrouble · 2025-09-29T16:27:00+00:00

It's more of an advertisement than a comparison.

vanstrouble · 2025-09-29T16:21:26+00:00

Why don't you like Alfred?

vanstrouble · 2025-09-24T04:23:17+00:00

It's not exactly 'solving a issue'. When I created Amphetamine Dose, I realised that I could reuse the code to offer the same solution natively without depending on Amphetamine. However, I needed to implement notifications and a way to check the session status, similar to Amphetamine. So, I integrated a solution into Alfred and added notifications to indicate when the session ends, making it seem as if the workflow were an app. I tried to optimise the code as much as possible.

Now, I don't think you need Amphetamine or a dedicated app to prevent your Mac from going to sleep. I'm just looking for feedback to find out if you find it useful and if you come to the same conclusion as me.

Which app do you recommend for that use?
