Alfred Powerpack 3.4 [En]

Пользователь может расширить результаты поиска при помощи клавиш-модификаторов: если нажать Alt+Return, то запрос будет отправлен в поисковую веб-систему, а смена Alt на Control позволит искать в Spotlight. Кроме этого, в приложении могут быть использованы триггеры — слова, которые позволяют Alfred изменить свое предназначение. Например, чтобы попросить его открыть конкретный файл нужно написать open имя_файла.расширение, а для принудительного поиска по системе слово open нужно заменить на find.

Но это еще не все, пользователь способен использовать другие триггеры для:
- Веб-поиска по разным сайтам — в Alfred разработчики добавили не только предустановленные значения для разных популярных сайтов, но и возможность добавления собственных конструкций, в которых требуется заменить поисковый запрос на фразу {query};
- системных команд вроде перезагрузки, выключения компьютера, его блокировки, запуска скринсейвера, очистки корзины и так далее (при желании, триггер для команды можно изменить);
- использовать нормальный и продвинутый калькулятор (GCMathParser); произнести слово по буквам или найти его определение в Dictionary.
Дополнительные опции приложения вроде внешнего вида или экспериментальных функций находятся в окне Настроек.
