Quicksilver sure sounds good. The tutorial is a bit lengthy but I think its easy to follow. Thanks for sharing.

Your “group file move” scenario involves a mouse. Eeek! One of the reasons I want to use QS is to *avoid* having to use the mouse. I understand that using the mouse is a familiar selection technque, and is, therefore, useful as a starting point for the remainder of that section, but it would be much more helpful if you’d provide steps for how to do group file selection within QS.

What solved it for me was:
– Open QS Preferences;
– go to the Plug-Ins panel;
– go to the All Plug-Ins page;
– make sure that “Text Manipulation Actions” is checked.

Hope that helps.

I know I’m commenting on an old post, but I just wanted to say thanks for one of the posts that helped me get started with Quicksilver.

Nice intro to QS. I use QS primarily, but not exclusively, for working with iGTD. Works great, and speeds up some other tasks as well.

Quite a few of the commands don’t work if you use a non-English (ie non qwerty ) keyboard.

@David Shorter: I had the same problem with “Append To” — there’s a good troubleshooting guide at:

What solved it for me was:
– Open QS Preferences;
– go to the Plug-Ins panel;
– go to the All Plug-Ins page;
– make sure that “Text Manipulation Actions” is checked.

Hope that helps.

OK, I tried Quicksilver on at least three occasions and simply don’t like it–at all. So there you have it, you know of at least one person that thinks it is over-hyped. To see more, look at the latest Versiontracker reviews where the latest version has a 3.5/5 star rating.
