Re: Quicksilver for Mac

I love Quicksilver, and use it for many things. The most useful feature, I've found is the Web Search plug-in, which allows you to do searches without having a browser open, and you can add sites to search that aren't already available (Google, IMDb, Wikipedia, etc… are already set up, just add them to the Catalog). Cmd-space, "goog", tab, tab, *search terms*, return gives me a new window in Safari with the search already performed in only a few seconds.

I have also used the ability to compose e-mail many times to send links from Chief Delphi out to members of the team.

Quicksilver's Finder Selection proxy item is also very helpful when I need to open a file in an application other than its default. After selecting the file, it's quicker to use Quicksilver than to click and find the application in a pop-up menu.

I really hope that development continues, because I'm probably too reliant on Quicksilver to give it up at this point.
