I’m must be stupid but I can’t get triggers to work. I have a script I want to trigger with a shortcut. How do I assign the shortcut with a key combination? I can’t type anything in the Slide-out pane for the scripts trigger combination. I want Ctrl + Cmd + C but the only thing showing up in the Hot Key input field is Ctrl+Cmd whatever combination I try to type.
Is there an option somewhere else in QS I have to check? Anybody knows?

Thank you for the illustrative screencast. I am curious to know how you interacted with the files and folders using the mouse in Quicksilver. For me, when I try to move files into folders the way you demonstrated, they simply snap back into their original place on the screen. Forgive me if you’ve answered this elsewhere. Thanks for the help.

@Howard

I can’t find the text selection command in quicksilver, how is it called and in which programs will it work?

Thanks in advance

Interesting… I went to set up the trigger (never having set one up before), and there were already two in the “Quicksilver” list, with their boxes unchecked. One was called “Command Window with Selection” and had the little blue box icon next to it that I’d just seen when I enabled Proxy Objects in the Catalog.

I checked the box, opened the drawer, and set the hot key. Done. It works just like your Command-G trigger.

One of the frustrating aspects of QuickSilver is that file actions barely work or don’t work at all in your home folder if FileVault is enabled.

So, for example, I can do a command-g to select a file in my shared user folder and have it ready to be manipulated (copied, moved, etc.) but if I try and do the same thing on a file in my home folder (where all my important docs are (hence why they are encrypted!)) I get nada.

For new users this can be quite perplexing and for older users it is quite frustrating to be tantalized by the possibilities but denied by the realities.

I think a Screencast about the limitations and, possibly some workarounds, for we mobile warriors would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff – yeah unfortunately the trick I described only works in Cocoa text widgets. Fortunately that’s many many apps, but unfortunately it’s not Firefox (or MS Office). It does work in Camino, as an example of Firefox with better Mac integration. It might well work in Firefox 3 but I’m not sure.

aaron – check this out – http://www.tunetag.com/
I’ll probably write more about this this week, as it’s a great tool. so if you’re having trouble with it, I’ll do it up in this week’s screencast (at the latest, next week)

i knew i wasn’t crazy! thanks.

on the quicksilver topic, i’ve got a task that quicksilver seems perfectly suited for but i haven’t been able to figure out a way to do it:

i’m listening to my iTunes library on shuffle and i hear a song that would be perfect for some playlist i’m slowly building. i don’t want to switch to iTunes to deal with it. i’d like to be able to invoke QS, get the current song, tab to next pane, select “add to playlist…”, tab to third pane and select my playlist.

any ideas?

aaron – Josh talked about the sweet wood grain icons here actually.

ptc – I’m sure people are getting sick of hearing me talk about it, but I AM actually working on the metadata/tagging/Quicksilver posts here on TAB. It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve got a mini series that I’m putting together on the subject – amongst the write-ups is going to be a screencast that demos everything. So keep your eyes peeled, because believe it or not it’ll be here in the COMING WEEKS.

Glad this has been helpful for everyone. Look for another Screencast later this week.
