Quicksilver's plug-in for Stikkit goes public
Merlin Mann | Apr 11 2007
Values of n Blog: Stikkit quick with Quicksilver (Disclosure: Merlin is a proud member of Stikkit’s advisory board)
As Rael writes on the Values of n blog, Alcor has just released his first public version of the Stikkit plug-in for Quicksilver:
I’ve been using a pre-release of the plug-in for a few weeks now, and personally I think it’s just swell. A few little tips and suggestions:
Proxies can be confusing to get, so if you missed it the first time around, here’s the Merlin Show segment showing how to access an application’s menus using QS proxies. Not sure it’ll help much with your setup of proxies, but it does give you a flavor of how these amazing, variable-like objects can hotwire your Quicksilver usage like little else.

Thanks again to Robert for documenting my fast and loose demo! 14 Comments

I’ve tried stikkit a couple of times and have been a bit underwhelmed by it. Maybe I’m not getting it, how does it make my life simpler than say ical and my treo? However, I’m open to looking more deeply into it. I sort of felt the same way about QS a few weeks ago when I heard Merlin mention it on MacBreak Weekly, however I reviewed some posts here and have been learning more about how to use it. I can see it becoming a pretty indespensable tool. It has basically replaced F-10 launcher as well as Spotlight and even some of the things I used to do using the Services menu. The upside of this is that I’m still just barely learing how to use the damn thing. »

Hey merlin…Sorry about the off topic but i have a problem! I have the shortcut command+apple to invoke quicksilver, and i disabled in system preferences the one for spotlight, it all worked well during a long time, but now whenever i restart my mac the shortcut to spotlight enables itself…I have to always go back to system preferences and uncheck it…Do you have a solution?! »

@Paulo Fontes: Just give Spotlight some weird key combination you’ll definitely never use; then, even if it re-activates itself it won’t get in the way of Quicksilver. »

@Brad Beyenhof Thanks Brad, but i tried that already, it really resets the shortcut, meaning it keeps reverting it to command+space! I really don’t know what to do next:( »
