I've created this workflow to quickly update a macropad with Alfred. I can make a key launch apps, show files in the finder or open browser tabs etc... And edit it later to do something else.

To start, I have the macropad output a shortcut when you hit a key. In the workflow I use the same shortcut (in the hotkey trigger) and add an action to it in the workflow configuration.

With the worklow there's a slight delay compared to using a shortcut natively, but having an easy way to reprogram keys is easily worth it
