launch applications with a keystroke

By rc

I know, launching programs with Quicksilver is very fast, but it’s even faster when triggered. I set up triggers for applications like Mail, Vienna (the best rss-reader out there), Skype, AdiumX and some more. You could also set up ONE trigger to start them all at once, using the comma trick. Invoke Quicksilver, select an application, press comma, add another application, …, open them via “open” in the second pane. Of course this works with all other objects too (not only applications).

    You might want to hint on the concept of compound commands here, which involves the comma trick, as well as saving quicksilver commands to a file. It’s quite a bit of an advanced concept, but once you grasped it, it’s REALLY useful – at least to me ;) You can find it right here: http://dev.lipidity.com/feature/tutorial/quicksilver-the-power-of-compound-commands#newstuff

    PS: Keep it going – it was about time for somebody to come up with a blog dedicated to QS!

    WOW!
    Using comma trick to open more than one app is a good idea!
