^tty workflow for Alfred

A JXA-based workflow for Alfred Powerpack users to quickly switch between or close iTerm windows, tabs and panes based on title and tty.

Releases

• Latest for Alfred 3.x

Prerequisites

• Alfred (version 3.0+)
• Alfred Powerpack
• iTerm2 (version 3.1+)
• macOS Sierra or newer (strictly, Mac OS X 10.10+, but untested on <10.12)

Usage

Type tty in Alfred followed by some characters from the title of an open window, tab or pane; press Enter to activate the selected window/tab/pane, or Alt-Enterto close it. For example, entertty as3to switch to a tab with the titleuser@azure-server-03`.

In order to make working with more than one window/tab/pane with the same title easier, the tty is displayed beneath the result, and can be provided as a second argument to the trigger. For example, enter tty lo 3 to select the the session with title localhost running on /dev/ttys003.

To select by tty alone, use two spaces between the trigger and the tty number. For example, tty 4 will select /dev/ttys004.

Optionally associate a hotkey trigger to further accelerate operation, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+T.

Combine with an iTerm2 profile configured as ssh protocol handler (e.g. "Name"=$$USER$$@$$HOST$$, "Command"=$$ and "Schemes handled"=ssh) and an alfred-ssh workflow to make opening and jumping between remote sessions across many windows, tabs and panes easy.
