# Alfred Magic Link Workflow

A magical workflow for copying a beautifully formatted Markdown link based on a

single search query! It's like "I'm feeling lucky" feature in your search engine

but for Markdown. :magic_wand:

# Usage

Type `ml ` for example to get the page for ASDF Version Manager: `ml asdf vm`

OR

Use the hotkey ⌥ + [ and type a query

Then either:

- Press Enter to paste the markdown formatted link (+ copy it to clipboard)

- Hold ⌥ + Enter to copy a Markdown formatted link

- Hold ⌃ + Enter to copy the URL (no markdown)

- Hold ⌃ + ⇧ + Enter to copy the URL (no markdown)

- Hold ⌘ + Enter to open the URL

# Prerequisites

- Ruby :gem:

- Alfred with PowerPack :tophat:

# Installation

Download the [latest release](https://github.com/dkarter/alfred-magic-link/releases/latest) from GitHub and open it.

# Notes

This workflow is powered by [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com).

If you overuse it, DuckDuckGo may temporarily flag you as a bot, and the workflow

will return no result. For most users and use cases that will not be an issue,

but I encountered this issue when I was developing and doing some heavy testing.

If you want to use this feature in your browser add a `!` to any DuckDuckGo

search query `apple !`.

# Release Instructions

1. Update the version in the "About This Workflow" section

2. Commit everything

3. Create a tag `git tag v1.x.x`

4. Push commits and tag

5. Workflow will be built and released automatically
