Populate/Repopulate Alfreds text field

gistfile1.applescript

# I have seen several requests from developers trying to populate/repopulate
# Alfreds text field with another value. While this is not a native solution,
# it's still suffice quite well.
#
# Explaination
#
# In order to get access to Alfreds windows, it must be toggled. We can achieve
# that by triggering the hotkey specified for Alfred. When toggled, it's as easy
# as just setting a new value for the first text field of window 1.
#
#
# This snippet will populate Alfred with a IMDB search for the movie
# The Green Mile. It assumes the hotkey is COMMAND + SPACE.
tell application "System Events"
  keystroke " " using command down
  tell process "Alfred" to set value of text field 1 of window 1 to "imdb The Green Mile"
end tell
