Create a Tab-completion-capable GUI app launcher
Authored by: vocaro on Nov 04, '05 09:52:13AM
If you're already in the GUI, why not just use QuickSilver? Seems like that would be easier (you don't even have to press Tab in most cases.), and it has more features.

this hint doesn't meant to replace quicksilver...

...but to complement quicksilver.

although quicksilver is fast, if i'm at the command line within a certain folder -- say my scripts folder -- and wanna mail a file to somebody -- say generatelinks.sh to robg -- its faster to type "Mail[Tab] gen[Tab] [Return]" than do that with quicksilver.

if you're not in the commandline anyway quicksilver is certainly much faster.
