Intermediate Quicksilver tutorial
Merlin Mann | Feb 23 2005
Dan Dickinson: The Primary Vivid Weblog: Quicksilver: From A Better OS X To Even More Dan Dickinson wrote the tutorial that inspired me to first try Quicksilver, lo, those eleven epochal months ago (via Todd). It’s now my favorite app on the Mac, partly because of (or in spite of) the fact that it continues to yield the 10,000 secret functions hiding in its many alcoves. Dan’s new tutorial is an equally swell intermediate lesson that walks you through some of the sexier features in a clear, unintimidating manner. Here’s an answer to one that’s been confusing me a bit for a while now:
Nice work, Dan. Not sure I’ve ever asked here, so spill: What’s your favorite novel use for Quicksilver? What place has it found in your workflow? 27 Comments

I'm a big fan of the Terminal module. I use it in conjunction with Terminal like this: In Terminal, open "Connect to Server..." and give it the details of the server you want to set up. Also configure the window layout and appearance to be exactly the way you want it - generally unique to that server. Then save it. Enable the Terminal Module, rescan catalog in Quicksilver, and you're done. Instantly open a terminal window to a server just the way you want it, all by typing the first few characters in QS. Very very handy, I use this all the time. [Also: am I the only English-only-type who remaps their QS activation key back to cmd-space because it's easier to hit?] » POSTED IN:
