Also with Quicksilver + AppleScript
I think I read this here, but I can't find it in the archives. Perhaps it was some place else.
Also with Quicksilver + AppleScript
Couldn't you just set up the same keyboard shortcut through the keyboard preference panel? Just save your script as an app.

Unless I'm missing something about what you're saying, you can't set Keyboard Preferences to launch an app. You can only set it to execute a menu item by name of an already running app.

Enable the Script menu, and make sure that your applescript is in the menu. Then Keyboard shortcuts can launch the app.

I don't know. For me it always has side effects. I set a zoom global shortcut, but instead of zooming only the front window, like the menu point does when going throught the menu, it zooms all windows.

Ok, I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned yet, but if you have Quicksilver installed one of the default apple script actions is "Fast Logout" as in fast user switch to the login screen. So in less than four key strokes my computer is locked at the login screen and all my programs stay running. Plus its more secure than the screen saver.

same here. I never use spotlight, because I know where my stuff is and for starting programs QS is just 1000 times faster. plus it lets my type in stuff and doesn't need to search an endless time.

Why should fast logout be more secure than a screensaver? If I turn of fast user switching and I lock my PC with the screensaver than only I can access it and nobody can login with some other account that might be there.

I agree. Quicksilver is probably the most useful app around. I've solved this issue for myself by having it the launch the Screen Saver Engine by typing "SS".

Couldn't you launch the script with One Key or Spark or some other keyboard file-launching utility? I have One Key and Quicksilver but I have never even opened Quicksilver. |
