Alfred 5.6 update brings enhanced workflow tools, UI improvements, and bug fixes
The latest update for Alfred, version 5.6, introduces numerous enhancements and fixes, primarily targeting Workflow improvements. Key updates feature the new Workflow alignment capability using the fn+Click shortcut and broader access to Workflow variable placeholders. Workflow management is refined with options to delete related cache and data folders, a new sorting feature by category, and enhanced debugging visibility.
The Workflow Editor sees UI and behavior improvements, including styling changes and enhanced focus and navigation. External Trigger configurations now highlight invalid characters in orange, while input file parsing is standardized across views. Accessibility and navigation are upgraded with better keyboard navigation and layout alignment.
