Not sure what's going on when I try to install the workflow. The dialog box to install the services comes up, forces me to reinstall it and then closes. The service is installed, but the workflow never shows up in Alfred. Any ideas?
Is it possible to navigate and close the floating window with the keyboard?!
... and to second Toms point: It would be really great if one could get a list of all available cheats!
Sorry, I didn't make clear what I meant:
It would be great, if one could see from within Alfred which sheets are available in the personal installation.
I have some cheat sheets for terminal stuff as text files in a folder on my hard drive. I defined an alias named "cheat", that just executes a cat command on the selected file. I also defined a completion rule so that when I type the 'cheat' command and press Tab, I get a list of all cheat sheets in the folder, or when I type, e.g., 'cheat p' and press Tab, I get a list of all sheets beginning with 'p'.
It would be great (if possible) to have the same functionality from within your Alfred workflow -- typing cheat and Tab/Return and get a list of all available sheets in the selected sheet path; typing the first character(s) of a sheet and get a list of all sheets by that name...
What about my other question: Is there a way to use Cheaters exclusively with the keyboard? To me it seems as if I have to at least use the mouse once to tap into the floating window to be able to use Esc to close it and to scroll with the arrow keys?!
Thanks!

I just changed it to do "Actions > Open URL" instead and linked to "http://ttscoff.github.io/ch...{query}". Then I don't need to have it local and it's always up to date.
I would be cool to show a list of the available cheat sheets when you type "cheat" into Alfred. I'm not sure if you can do that.
Except for it's not always up to date. I only update that when there's a significant enough change to make it worthwhile. It's only a demo.
The point of Cheaters is to be able to customize your sheets. If you want to use a URL, it's easy enough to host Cheaters locally with a virtual host and web sharing, or to just throw the directory on a server. Well, it's easy if you already have a server...
Is it intentional that when you close the pop up window of your cheat sheet it creates a notification that says "Please check your Cheaters workflow configuration."
I set my URL in Alfred and the window is popping up properly, though it does take about 5 seconds on a 2011 MBA.
Is this expected or did I do something wrong?
I did see this happening when writing it, but it went away so I wasn't able to figure out why. The notification should only trigger if something is sent back from the script, and the only thing it would send back is an error if the file doesn't exist, in which case it would exit and never load the web view… so basically, you're not crazy, something weird is going on there.
