Using the approach Rob McBroom suggests above of setting up a trigger using the comma trick should achieve the result you ask for, the only difference being that you’ll call up the command via a hotkey instead of searching for a string of text (e.g. “Apple Search”). The steps to set up such a trigger are as follows. I’ve detailed each step, so please ignore if you know all of this already—or if I’ve misunderstood your query entirely!
Invoke Quicksilver and press ‘Command’ and ‘comma’ to get to Quicksilver’s ‘Preferences’ pane. Go to the ‘Triggers’ section, click on the ‘+’ sign at the bottom of the window, and choose ‘Keyboard’. Assuming you already have custom web searches set up for the three Apple-centric websites you mention in your post, then *First Pane*: Search for the first custom web search > comma > second custom web search > comma > third custom web search Tab to second pane. *Second Pane*: Find the ‘Search For…’ action Tab to third pane. *Third Pane*: Leave the third pane blank (delete any text that may already be populated). Click ’Save’ and then click the ‘i’ button at the bottom of the ‘Triggers’ window (with your newly-created trigger highlighted). Click on the ‘Shortcut’ field and assign your keyboard hotkey.
