Some services meant to make life a little easier



## Jupyter



### Firefox, press ctrl and - for Jupyter.workflow

The command to comment is not usable on non-English keyboards in Jupyter on macOS, this workflow allows commenting. It runs the `ctrl`+`-` without having to press thoses keys (which are unnaccessible on non English keyboards as a shortcut).



This workflow is configured to only run on Firefox.



### All apps, press ctrl and - for Jupyter.workflow

The command to comment is not usable on non-English keyboards in Jupyter on macOS, this workflow allows commenting. It runs the `ctrl`+`-` without having to press thoses keys (which are unnaccessible on non English keyboards as a shortcut).



## Reminders

### Create Reminder.workflow

Creates a reminder with a dialog.



### Create Reminder from Selected Text.workflow

Creates a reminder prefilling the dialog with the selected text.



### Create Reminder From Message.workflow

Creates a reminder prefilling the dialog with information about an e-mail, creates a link to the e-mail. This only works with Mail.app, an e-mail must be selected before executing the service.



## Mail

### Copy Mail URI.workflow

Copies to clipboard selected e-mails information. Creates a link to the e-mail (e-mails) selected and uses information about this document for the link. If only one e-mail is selected a simple link is copied. If more than one e-mail is selected a list is created in the <ol> style.



This creates an **RTF** link to be pasted in a program that allows formatting.



### Copy Mail URI Raw Text.workflow

Copies to clipboard selected e-mails information. Creates a link to the e-mail (e-mails) selected and uses information about this document for the link. If only one e-mail is selected a simple link is copied. If more than one e-mail is selected a simple text list is created.



This creates an **raw** link to be pasted in a program that allows formatting.



## Copy File URI.workflow

Copies to clipboard the URL of a file and shows the filename full path as simple text.



## Date and Time



### Insert Datetime and add to Clipboard.workflow

Inserts Date and Time as text. Leaves a copy in the Clipboard. The date and time are formatted using the date command `date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'` (returning a string with the following format: `yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss` [24hour format]).



### Insert Date and add to Clipboard.workflow

Inserts Date as text. Leaves a copy in the Clipboard. The date is formatted using the date command `date '+%Y-%m-%d'` (returning a string with the following format: `yyyy-mm-dd`).



### Insert Time and add to Clipboard.workflow

Inserts Time as text. Leaves a copy in the Clipboard. The time is formatted using the date command `date '+%H:%M:%S'` (returning a string with the following format: `hh:mm:ss` [24hour format]).



### Insert Datetime.workflow

Inserts Date and Time as text. The date and time are formatted using the date command `date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'` (returning a string with the following format: `yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss` [24hour format]).



**Note**: Prefer `Insert Datetime and add to Clipboard.workflow` as I've found it works more predictably.



### Insert Datetime (for filename).workflow

Inserts Date and Time as text. The date and time are formatted using the date command `date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S'` (returning a string with the following format: `yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss` [24hour format]).



## Spotlight delete and reindex.workflow

Runs the command `sudo mdutil -E /` which deletes the Spotlight index and makes it do a reindex.



## Dock enable suck minieffect.workflow

Windows in macOS can be minified using two effects Genie and Scale, there is also another hidden effect called suck, this enables it.

## (Deprecated) Toggle Hidden Files

*Note: This is now deprecated as a shortcut now exists since macOS Sierra which works much quicker: `cmd`+`shift`+`.` ([link](https://ianlunn.co.uk/articles/quickly-showhide-hidden-files-mac-os-x-mavericks/#show-hide-hidden-files-using-terminal)).*



Makes Finder toggle hidden files. Call it once and hidden files are shown, call it again and they will be hidden. Repeat if necessary.
