Previously you could trigger Quicksilver, type "Current Application", then the tab key, then "Show Menu Items" and a list of the current application's menus would pop up. This no longer works correctly in Mavericks. Since Mavericks, the regular steps to enable accessing the menus of the current application has changed. As such, the feature will not work without modification. First, trigger QS by the regular hotkey. Bring up preferences by hitting ⌘-, and click on "Catalogue" and make sure that the “Proxy Objects” catalog is enabled. So far just like before. Previously, however, you needed to then go to the "Universal Access" preference pane to click "Enable access for assistive devices". But if you try to do that in Mavericks, you'll hit a brick wall. Where the heck did the "Enable access for assistive devices" checkbox go?!? It's gone in 10.9. Search all you want, you won't find it. But without enabling it, there is no way to allow Quicksilver access to the menuing system! So what to do? Turns out that in Mavericks, access to system resources has become far more fine-grained, and is now controlled on an app by app basis. To allow QS access to the system, you have to now go to the Security & Privacy Preference pane and click on the Privacy tab. There you can click on the Accessibility icon on the left. Now, on the right, you will see a list of applications that are allowed to control your computer. Click on the lock and enter your admin account credentials to allow you to edit the list, and then find your QS application and drag it into the list in the preference pane. Make sure it is checked. You may then need to log out and log back in to your used account. And voila, accessing the menus of the current application is now enabled.
