Alfred's workflow feature continues to impress me with its usefulness. Current favourites include

• PinAdd, for adding the current tab to Pinboard.
• Pinboard Search, for searching.
• Yet another Fix open with..., comes in handy every now and then when I spot duplicate entries in the Open With menu.

I'm making plenty of use of my own workflows too. These include:

• quick searching Jira and Confluence.
• opening my 4 Gmail accounts at once (1 personal, 3 for work...).
• searching the UK rail train timetables.

I realised earlier this week that one of my oft-repeated tasks is to copy some unsorted text and paste it sorted elsewhere. Rather than faff about copying, pasting into Sublime Text, sorting, copying again, then pasting, I've written a workflow to handle this:

1. copy unsorted text
2. open Alfred and use the scb keyword to sort the text via bash:</p>

   pbpaste | sort | pbcopy</li>

   paste into intended destination

   </ol> Download this workflow.

   It's exactly this kind of - seeminly trivial - trick that makes Alfred such an indespensible app. Great stuff.
