Question

I'm looking for a way to open the url in clipboard with Alfred - using shortcut key. Can we do this ?

Example:

I select an url then I click a combo key. My browser will open that url

Answer 1

I've resolved the problem myself. Here is the guide :

In Alfred ( make sure you have Powerpack ), make a shellscript in extensions:

/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/Google Chrome.app" {query}

Create an extensions in hotkeys which use our created extension with the argument is selected text in OS X.

Set your keyboard shortcut. And now, when you want to open selected url, just select the url then press your keyboard shortcut.

Answer 2

Easy.

1. Bring up the Alfred window
2. Press cmd-v
3. Press enter
