@Spike, It sounds like you actually want something different than a getSelection. you want a getSelection + immediately do something. Which also fine.
The colon problem with qsGetSel should be fixed. Download link is the same as before, which is this: http://is.gd/beTm2 qsGetSel and the two services are both meant for much more than just selecting a URL and sending it to a specific browser to be opened. There is not way to specify a trigger to what your talking about. At least as far as I know. However, you could easily alter qsGetSel to make qsGetURL2Firefox and qsGetURL2Chrome, that is, make custom scripts that do exactly what you're talking about. And then set a separate trigger (cmd-1 and 2 in your examples) for each. Ok, well that was easy. Here's a generic script for grabbing whatever text you have selecting and attempting to have a specified browser open that text as a URL. if the text does not start with "http://"; then that is added to the selected text before sending to the browser. Download the script, qsSelectionToBrowswer here: http://is.gd/beTnR then double click it to open it with AppleScript Editor. Look at the first line of script: property myBrowser : "Safari" change Safari to whatever browser you prefer to have the script open the selected URL in. for Chrome make sure you use "Google Chrome". So to get what you want: Download qsSelectionToBrowser. Duplicate it so you have two copies. Open them both in Applescript Editor. Change property myBrowser in one to "Firefox" and the other to "Google Chrome" (rename them appropriately, ie qsSelToFirefox) move both scripts to ~/Library/Scripts/ restart Quicksilver set a qs trigger cmd-1 to qsSelToFirefox set a qs trigger cmd-2 to qsSelToChrome of course, I should point out, these new scripts only use QS for the trigger. Probably more useful would be to use Automator and applescript to make services of them. Then you could select a url, right click on it, and open the url in a specific browser from your contextual menu. -- To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
