The ultimate Quicksilver Thread

Let's make this the The ultimate Quicksilver Thread. But I really think a own Category would suit our needs alittle bit better. Merlin? Is this Board supporting Subcategories?

Let's start with Websearches through QS: I don't get why i have to select the search action before I can use the variable input field? It's just confusing. My Question is: how can I arrange the various search Targets like I can arrange e.g. the Mail actions?

TOPICS: Mac OS X

I'm new around here and...

I'm new around here and have been implementing QS and kGTD and tried your trick below but it won't let me add text, it just add's a blank line into kGTD. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

initially, i couldn't quite figure out how to do that, but finally found the answer here http://kinkless.com/node/107

- Open QS Preferences.
- Select Triggers on left side.
- Click "+" for new trigger.
- Type "KGTD" to navigate to the script.
- Hit Tab.
- Hit Save.

although i had to manually navigate to the script to select it -- you can find the script in this folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/ (you can type ~ in qs and it puts you to the user folder and then use the arrow keys to navigate the folders.)

i set it up to be apple-shift-k as my hotkey. so no matter what i'm doing, i hit that, type in something i want to remember, and it will end up in my inbox in my kgtd document.
good luck

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
