If you want to be able to search for a command, what you could do is use the ’Save Command To File…’ action. Going with the example of opening several applications at once, the following should work:
- Select the applications you want to open in the first pane using the ‘comma trick’. - Making sure that the default action in the second pane is ’Open’, press ‘control’ and ‘enter’. - In the Quicksilver instance that follows, tab to the second pane and search for the ‘Save Command To File…’ action. In the third pane, specify a folder to which the Quicksilver command file is to be saved (for instance a new folder dedicated to Quicksilver commands). - To make the command more easy to search for, I would suggest creating a synonym for the item (Preferences > Catalog, ‘+’ button, ‘Synonym’). You should then be able to search for the command using Quicksilver and run it by using the default ‘Open’ action that appears in the second pane.
