@franz: I’ve had my mac...

@franz: I’ve had my mac replaced and had to manually reconfigure my shortcuts

That sucks.

I’d recommend doing a regular backup of “~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/” to keep your settings happy and secure. Periodically Gmail yourself an encrypted DMG of same and you’ll have them handy wherever you go and whatever happens to your box.

rooSwitch could function as an ersatz backup in a pinch, but I’d recommend a slightly more fancy and automated solution like Backup.app, ChronoSync, Rsync, or what have you.
