Quicksilver is one of those applications that you don't realise how much you need... until you try to work on a machine that doesn't have it :-)

For your next assignment: make sure you have the iTunes plugin installed, and instead of Cmd-Tabbing your way to iTunes to pause it and restart it when you get up to make a nice cuppa... pop QS with Cmd-Space (or whatever hot key you use), press PP (for Play-Pause) and hit enter. When you get back to your desk: Cmd Space PP Enter, and iTunes picks up from where you left off. After a few months you'll have hundreds of these little shortcuts in your muscle memory, and driving OS X is even more pleasant than usual :-D

Incidentally, if you or any of your readers prefer Gnome to KDE, then you can always try out Gnome Launch Box... the Gnome QS close.

Gary,

I thought i recalled seeing a Gnome equivalent for QuickSilver. Thanks for reminding me of it! :)

As for iTunes, i have grown a liking to using the remote control which came with my macbook to control it. Though of course, performing more advanced actions (i.e. those not on the darn controller) it sounds like a good idea to use QuickSilver.

Regards, James.
