Append to Draft

Description

Doctor Drafts allows you to enter text in Alfred to append to an existing draft. It allows you to enter a string of text to be appended, after which you are then prompted to enter text to search for in the content of the drafts. When you select a draft, the text will be appended to the end of the selected draft.

Steps

  1. Trigger Alfred.
  2. Type in drapp followed by a space.
  3. Type in the content you want to append to a draft.
  4. Press return.
  5. Type in the text you want to search draft content for to filter the list of matching drafts.
  6. Select the matching draft that you wish to append to in Drafts.
  7. Press return.

Notes

  • Drafts will briefly be visible for the append operation. This is because this currently has to be a foreground operation. After appending, the action will switch back to the previously active app (which could even be Drafts).
  • Because it is a foreground operation, if you navigate back to Drafts, the appended to draft will have been loaded into the editor.
  • If you want to enter a new line, use \n; this is then interpreted to create a new line in drafts.
  • If you want to enter a tab character, use \t; this is then interpreted to create a tab character in drafts.

Prepend to Draft

Description

Doctor Drafts allows you to enter text in Alfred to prepend to an existing draft. It allows you to enter a string of text to be prepended, after which you are then prompted to enter text to search for in the content of the drafts. When you select a draft, the text will be prepended to the end of the selected draft.

Steps

  1. Trigger Alfred.
  2. Type in drpre followed by a space.
  3. Type in the content you want to prepend to a draft.
  4. Press return.
  5. Type in the text you want to search draft content for to filter the list of matching drafts.
  6. Select the matching draft that you wish to prepend to in Drafts.
  7. Press return.

Notes

  • Drafts will briefly be visible for the prepend operation. This is because this currently has to be a foreground operation. After prepending, the action will switch back to the previously active app (which could even be Drafts).
  • Because it is a foreground operation, if you navigate back to Drafts, the prepended to draft will have been loaded into the editor.
  • If you want to enter a new line, use \n; this is then interpreted to create a new line in Drafts.
  • If you want to enter a tab character, use \t; this is then interpreted to create a tab character in Drafts.
