Same requests from https://github.com/alfredapp/gallery-edits/issues/12#issuecomment-1744649077 apply. This is a major reason why I ask for one submission at a time: so you can avoid effort in one direction multiple times when there’s something in the process which needs fixing.

sorry! I still don't seem to see this padding issue, but I now used a default theme.

[vitorgalvao]

Thank you, much improved. I still made some tweaks, e.g.:

fake [<query>] — List/filter available fake data types

to

Search available fake data types via the fake keyword

To follow the style.

There is also a Snippet Trigger (xxfake by default) to insert fake data directly into other applications.

Like Hotkeys, Snippet Triggers are stripped on import (imagine if a workflow had trigger which were something common another person typed). I’ll make a note about the existence of the Snippet Trigger, though.

This one will be live later today at https://alfred.app/workflows/giovanni/fakeum/.
