- Download the latest version from the releases page of this repository.
- Double-click the downloaded
.alfredworkflowfile to install. - That's it. 👏
Please note that this workflow is only for Alfred 3.
Fire up the workflow with the keyword gif followed by your search query. Once
the list is filled with results, the following actions are available for each
item :
<shift>will open a Quick Look window showing the GIF (pressing<shift>again,<esc>or<space>will dismiss it),<enter>will copy the direct URL of the GIF file (eg. http://media3.giphy.com/media/l41YwWrjEhTGpE3zG/giphy.gif),<cmd>+<enter>will instead copy the Giphy URL of the GIF (eg. http://giphy.com/gifs/siliconvalleyhbo-l41YwWrjEhTGpE3zG),<alt>+<enter>will open the GIF on Giphy.
An extra action is always displayed at the bottom to open the current search on Giphy in the default browser.
The default keyword is gif (easy to remember 😁), but can easily be
changed by going to the Workflows tab of the Alfred settings, clicking the
workflow, double-clicking the (first) 'Script Filter' action and typing the
desired keyword.
By default, only the first 8 results are displayed. However, this setting can be
changed by going to the workflow settings (following the above directions),
toggling the 'Workflow variables' pane by clicking the [x] icon and changing the
GIPHY_SEARCH_LIMIT variable.
This workflow makes use of Alfred cache to store some search results and avoid repeated and unnecessary calls to Giphy API. To clear the cache, just type the following sequence :
gif :delcache
