FYI, ⌘-[ and ⌘-] are pretty standard throughout OS X. E.g., they scroll tabs in Safari. Nice use case here in QS.

Those do forward and back in Safari, which is more in line with how we’re using it (and probably inspired the key choice). Most apps use ⌘{ and ⌘} for switching tabs.

What *is* new are the ⌃[, ⌃], and ⌃⌘] shortcuts for dealing with comma-trick collections.

Nice stuff. Is the term "collection" new? I only remember calling it "the comma trick".

We all know the comma trick, but what do you call the result of using it? I said “collection” because that’s the name of the variable in the code I’ve been staring at for weeks and weeks, but I think you’re right that the QS community hasn’t established a name for this. What do you think of “collection”? 😀

It’s similar to the “combined objects” you may have seen, but I’ve done my best to eliminate that and make these multi-selection things always appear as if you just created them (which also preserves the ability to browse and edit them). For example, select a few files and hit ⌘⎋ in 1.3.x, then try the same in 1.4.0.

Not new, but not listed in the Quick Ref:

⌥,   to remove something from a comma-trick collection
⌃⌘[  to show/search everything in the history

Note that the behavior of ⌥, was switched with Delete in this release. If you try them both, hopefully you’ll agree that the change makes sense.

I'll try to update the quickref with this. Space is getting very tight on that one-pager :)

Thanks! Not that you want to hear this, but there are probably other undocumented shortcuts. They’re defined in https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/blob/master/Quicksilver/Code-QuickStepInterface/DefaultBindings.qskeys

I also learned while working on this that you can customize those by creating a similar file at ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/KeyBindings.qskeys
