How to set app aliases
Hello, I'm new to Alfred. I just got into it after RayCast 2.0 was announced, and I was able to port a lot of the stuff that RayCast has. But the one feature I'm missing is the app aliases. For example, these things here, which I circled in the image below. Basically, how do you set app aliases in Alfred? For those who maybe don't know what app aliases are, they're like another name for the action, and I'm wondering how you can set those. For now, I've approached this a bit inconveniently (image at the bottom), and I basically run a bash script to open them, and I'm wondering if that's the best way. I would like to get as close to the RayCast behavior as possible because a lot of apps share somewhat similar names, and fuzzy search didn't even work on Raycast, which was a great solution. I would like to port it to Alfred as well. Thank you all very much. https://preview.redd.it/5492x2ifketh1.png?width=1608&format=png&auto=webp&s=42d680a1114dc5927864d688d7260d4f470b381ahttps://preview.redd.it/ktffq0miketh1.png?width=888&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e6606076408659d6966efe390a07669a700a373
