Very cool. I think a great next step for this library would be to allow users to select a wish from the list and then assign it a custom keyboard shortcut. This could be specified and/or handled with a library such as Mousetrap (which, incidentally, has a 'record' extension by your truly).

Hypothetical workflow:

  • User hits Ctrl+Space, genie UI comes up
  • User types/scrolls to a particular "wish", then hits Ctrl+K (for example)
  • A new box appears prompting the user to perform any keyboard shortcut
  • The key sequence is recorded and assigned to the specified wish

I haven't used Alfred, or even genie yet. So I recognize that maybe this suggestion isn't really in the spirit of the UX paradigm you're promoting. Just a thought!

That's a great idea! Then we could display the hotkey next to the wish as well. I'm thinking it may belong in ux-genie because I'm trying to keep genie browser agnostic (though it's not entirely likely it'll ever live outside the browser). I'll give this some thought, but I definitely like the idea.
