It can run shell commands directly by just prefixing them with > which then opens Terminal and runs the line. What I'd love is an extension (basically just a shell script) that would provide shortcuts to interact with it.

I really loathe 1Password, KeePass, LastPass etc. but what they do is provide me with a FAST way to get to my passwords.

If I could do this with Alfred and this app it would be killer:

pass find ycomb (and then it gives you results that match this and if you hit enter it copies the password to the clipboard) pass add [name/url] [password] pass rm [name/url]

etc. If only I knew how to code this. :)



Just poked at some random extension on the Alfred webpage. Looks like it's two plists and a png inside a zip archive that has a .alfredextension suffix. The plists have a pretty comprehensible XML format, and it should be easy enough to adapt one of these. Copy an existing one, edit the files and tinker around. Shouldn't take very long to do.

Shoot me an email (posted bottom of the page) if you have any success with this.
