Open Thread: Quicksilver podcast questions
Merlin Also | Jul 28 2006
Merlin on MacBreak: Intro to Quicksilver The response to the MacBreak on Quicksilver has been enthusiastic to say the least. Thanks to everyone who's sent emails saying they now "finally 'get' Quicksilver." That's really cool to hear. Based on lots of the messages, though, there's still lots of questions about setting up Quicksilver, loading plugins, and configuring things the way you like -- especially as seen in the video. As we've observed on the site many times, the ramp-up to full-on Quicksilver configuration can be a bitch. I want to try and route all the questions and answers into this one thread if I can. So, there's a few links below that I [="Red"]REALLY[/] encourage you to explore thoroughly before asking questions (I swear most all the answers are out there), but if you have a question not answered, the 43 Folders hive mind and I can try to help you out. Ask away (after you've really really looked for the answer on your own, okay?). My access over the next few days is limited, so any help from the Quicksilver studs out there is greatly appreciated! Good Quicksilver links:
Quicksilver power users: feel free to chime in as well with your favorite links, tutorials, and responses to questions from the new folks. Many thanks in advance. 51 Comments

 The shelfSubmitted by gadge47 on July 28, 2006 - 12:14pm.
I'm having trouble with the Shelf. I've heard lots of tutorials mention it but none of them talk about how to use it. After a while I figured out that it's a plug-in that's not selected by default. Now I'm having trouble figuring out how to use it. I finally figured out that I can show the shelf by pressing CMD-OPTION-S when QS is activated but I can't figure out an easy way to add stuff to the shelf or use the things that are in there. The documentation here implies that I should have "Put on shelf" as an available verb. But I don't. The only way I can see to use the shelf is by dragging things to and fro, which kind of defeats the pupose of using QS. » POSTED IN:
