Quicksilver REALLY needs to make it easier to enable this ‘Current Application’ shortcut. This blog post and comments are a treasure trove of info – I sincerely doubt most users would be able to enable that if it weren’t for the help here.

I think the preference pane for the app could be greatly simplified – feels way too loose and scattered.

I was so excited I could access my menu items but then all of a sudden my triggers tab in QS just wont load up. I tried to uninstall and install the app again but the same thing, the triggers menu just shows the progressing icon but nothing happens there.

I think what you’re referring to is built in quite nicely into Leopard. System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Show Help Menu. Mine is set to command-shift-/, and it’s very sweet. Hit that shortcut and type part of the command name. Even highlights it so you can learn the app’s shortcut.

I’m not a newbie but I’m totally lost in getting this to work and I really want it to work because I have multiple monitors and getting from a window to a menu on another monitor is a real pain.

Access for assistive devices in the System Preference, done, checked
QS v54 installed, Enable advanced features, done, checked
QS Catalog, Quicksilver, Proxy Objects, done, checked

Plug ins: ONLY 3 SHOW UP

Where do I find the wealth of other plug ins and in particular the magic one being described here?

#24 Not blow your high, but in 99% of the applications out there, save as is just shift-cmd-s, which is faster then cmd-space(or insert random trigger) – sa -enter.
QS is cool, but not because it can emulate the simplest of commands with more keystrokes. This is good for when you have menues with 100+ items and frequently use many of them, and simply for saving applications with poor menudesign.

I have enabled proxy objects, user interface and universal devices yet still nothing. Any suggestions?

Is there a way to have QuickSilver keep all of the menu commands in memory? I ask this because I commonly use commands that are buried deep in a submenu, and have no keyboard shortcut, but because of the number of menus, they don’t load quickly. I hit cmd-space, and wait…and wait…and wait more. Finally, the menus are accessible, but not their submenus or commands in submenus.

Is there a way around this?

Configure Quicksilver trigger to
current application
menu bar items…

Then all you have to type is:
trigger
sa
for save as.

Hmm… I am starting to “get the geek”, after having avoid QS for a while, I’m really starting to make it, make me more productive. However, I’ve installed the module, turned on advanced, still no “current application” action.

Word of warning for those using parallels… in turning on proxy objects (ie. accessibility or something), keys don’t work like they use to in parallels.

eg. Cmd-Tab does not allow you to cycle through apps when parallels has focus. You have to ‘defocus’ out of parallels first and then do stuff.

Quite an impressive tool.

It never ceases to amaze me.
