An [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/) workflow to set the default web browser.

## Usage Note

- Set the default web browser using the keyword (default: `sdb`).
- The macOS browser change confirmation dialog is automatically accepted.

- <kbd>⏎</kbd> Set as default browser
- <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>⇧</kbd><kbd>⏎</kbd> Blacklist the application
- <kbd>⌃</kbd> View the file path of the application

**Utility**: Use the workflow's [File Action](https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/triggers/file-action/) (name: `Bundle Identifier Information`) to retrieve an application's bundle identifier (Legacy).

## Compiled Version (command line)

<summary>See Details</summary>

The executable can be used to change the default browser from the command line: `./set_default_browser tor`

### Recompile

In your terminal:

```
mkdir set-default-browser
cd set-default-browser
swift package init --type executable
```

This will generate the following structure for you:  
```
.
├── Package.swift
├── README.md
├── Sources
│   └── set_default_browser
│       └── set_default_browser.swift
└── Tests
    └── set_default_browserTests
        └── set_default_browserTests.swift
```

Replace the contents of `set_default_browser.swift` with [the contents of the included main.swift](https://github.com/zeitlings/alfred-set-default-browser/blob/main/main.swift).  
Replace the contents of `Package.swift` with [the contents of the included Package.swift](https://github.com/zeitlings/alfred-set-default-browser/blob/main/Package.swift)

In your terminal, run:

```
swift build -c release
```

The executable is located in `.build/release/` (hidden folder) and is called `set_default_browser`. `release` is a symbolic link and, in my case, the path reads: `/.build/arm64-apple-macosx/release/set_default_browser`. Depending on your system, this might differ.

Copy the executable and replace the version that comes with the workflow.
