Currently if you want to, for example, set your light to be on, the color blue, at 33% brightness, you'd have to execute this in three separate end-to-end steps via the the workflow's hue keyword.

Wouldn't life be better if we could do all three at once? Implementation suggestion would be using a modifier key and an AppleScript script to reopen the workflow with one action string prepopulated, outlined as follows:

  1. hue lights:3:on + user hits ENTER while holding ALT (or CTRL)
  2. Alfred is reopened with the following string: hue lights:3:on lights:3:
