Alfred Path Picker

Search through paths defined in path files (see below) using Alfred, when selected, they open on the hostname that Chrome is currently on. So, if I'm looking at http://staging.site.com/admin/modules and I type into Alfred path menus then Chrome will open http://staging.site.com/admin/structure/menu. Later if I'm on http://local.site.com/admin/modules and I type that same thing in Alfred, I'll go to http://local.site.com/admin/structure/menu. This really helps as a web developer needing to bookmark the path of a page, but having the host change often.

Just to keep our terminology straight, given a URL of http://staging.site.com/admin/structure/menu, we have these terms:

• "hostname": http://staging.site.com
• "path": /admin/structure/menu

This tool helps you by letting you creating collections of paths that can be opened on any hostname by looking at the URL of the active tab in Google Chrome.

Installation

Requires node.js and Alfred for Mac.

npm install alfred-path-picker --global

The Alfred Workflow should just open after installation.

Configuration

Edit the file at ~/.alfred-path-picker.yml for configuration. You can turn on or off any of the example path files there, or add more of yours.

Path Files

These files (see some in example/) are read and are all the results returned by Alfred. They basically look like this:

- name: Name of Result
  path: /path/to/page
- name: Name of Result
  path: /path/to/page

Extra Options

• Hold 'cmd' when selecting to open in a new tab instead

Hostname Switching

By pointing to files that contain the hostname in hostFiles in the config, you can do this same functionality with the first part of the url, the host, and switch between the same page on different domains.
