## Installation
To install this workflow you just have to download and open the `.alfredworkflow` file
from the latest
release [here](https://github.com/wmorland/alfred-py3-default-browser/releases/latest).
The Alfred website's Help section has more information about
Workflows [here](https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/#discovering). Workflows are a
paid feature of Alfred which require
the [Alfred Powerpack](https://www.alfredapp.com/powerpack/).
## Usage
The default shortcut is `db` and you can then pick a browser from the list of available
options. macOS requires you to confirm the change in a pop up dialog. For
example:
### Changing the Alfred keyword
1. Open Alfred Preferences and go to 'Workflows' > 'Py3 Default Browser'.
2. Double click on the Script Filter
component.
3. Change the keyword field to your new chosen keyword (you can leave all other fields
the same) and then click 'Save'.
## Support
If you have any questions or feature requests then
please [file an Issue](https://github.com/wmorland/alfred-py3-default-browser/issues/new)
on GitHub or reach out to me on Twitter, [@w_morland](https://twitter.com/w_morland).
## Dependencies
To build the workflow locally from source you must run
`/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --target=./lib -r requirements.txt` as the script
expects the dependencies to be placed in a local folder.
## Contributing
Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what
you would like to change.
