URL Text Actions - Alfred workflow

Important

This project has migrated to Codeberg as of release 1.1.3. All updates, issues, and pull requests will occur there.

This workflow provides actions for getting text from the browser or a URL.

From the frontmost browser tab or with a URL selected, get the page text as markdown, a markdown link, and more. Paste it automatically with a keyword and modifier, a Snippet Trigger, or a Universal Action.
