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<br><br>Incidentally, if you or any of your readers prefer Gnome to KDE, then you can always try out <a href="http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gnome-launch-box" rel="nofollow">Gnome Launch Box</a>... the Gnome QS close.GazSat, 28 Jul 2007 16:31:00 -0000http://www.cuppadev.co.uk/oldbrew/quicksilver-on-linux/#comment-2429556Gary,<br><br>I thought i recalled seeing a Gnome equivalent for QuickSilver. Thanks for reminding me of it! :)<br><br>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.<br><br>Regards, James.James UrquhartSat, 28 Jul 2007 16:31:00 -0000
