QuickSilver rocks

Retraction time. These posts are inaccurate:

  1. Another Mac/Safari shortcut
  2. Redundancy app
  3. Keyboarding onto the web without using a browser

They all recommend using Spotlight, the built-in Tiger OSX search feature, rather than using QuickSilver. But all Spotlight does is search and find and open. QS, I have come to realize, does much more. Here is the video that alerted me that I was underestimating QS.

Just to give one example, my elaborate scheme for directly opening urls (by keeping a folder of shortcuts) is mostly redundant. In QuickSilver you just type the URL.

So I’m trying to learn more. Right now I’m wishing I could figure out how to command QS to open a URL with a specific browser.
