I have long been a keyboard shortcut sucker and for good reason. They rule all. Anyway. Now that I have begun using and customizing Quicksilver, and Growl, and other stuff... I find that some keyboard shortcuts that I use are coming into conflict with other keyboard shortcuts. This came to a head the other day when I was using OmniOutliner Pro and needed to insert the current date: CMD+/ Well, this was also the keyboard shortcut I had set for my GrowlClock. When I need to know what time it is, I invoke GC and get the time and I have saved a chunk of menubar real estate. Well, then I changed the GrowlClock shortcut to something else, but then when I was pressing it, it wasn't invoking the clock because some other app was taking the keyboard shortcut first. Another example is my iTunes triggers. I thought CMD+CTRL+arrows was a good idea for controlling iTunes since it's essentially the same as the ones for working in iTunes. Well, CMD+CTRL+up/down are also used by OOP for moving rows up and down respectively.

All that is the long way to ask: How do you guys keep your keyboard shortcuts playing nice with one another? Do you keep a list? Do you use really bizarre keycombos that no app developer would ever think to use? Something else? Basically, if you were going to set up a QS trigger, what would your criteria be for making sure it didn't interfere with anything else?
