Feature Request: Paste standardized/USPS-type of address from the selected text (an address)

Open cliffordp opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

I'm looking for a feature where I have the text 10902 Sout Sycamore Steet, Jenks, OK, 74037 selected, then I hit a keyboard shortcut to tell the Alfred workflow to do its thing...

Input Option 1:

  • lookup the selected text: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/best-practices
  • return the formatted address:
    • which in this example would fix the typos ("Sout" should have been "South" and there shouldn't be a comma after "OK")
    • and keep consistent formatting -- in this case: 10902 S Sycamore St, Jenks, OK 74037 ("S" before street name and fix punctuation)
  • paste the result in place of the selected text

Input Option 2:

  • Open Alfred
  • Input the "gaddress" keyword followed by the original text
  • Enter key pastes the result wherever the cursor was (i.e. no selected text required)

This would be helpful when working with spreadsheets (i.e. data entry) or completing an online form (e.g. Alfred > type gaddress 10902 s sycamore st 74037 > pastes the nicely-formatted version).

Thanks! Let me know if I can help bring this to life in some way.
