Hi, all.
As a longtime Quicksilver user, I have absolutely no idea what I'd do
without it anymore. Admittedly, if you *only* need an application
launcher, I'd say don't bother, since Spotlight does the job pretty
nicely these days.
The thing for me about QS is that, appart from the previously
mentioned doing things to files point, it's the fact that it also does
keyboard shortcuts that I like.
I've added a whole raft of features to the finder, for example, by
writing a bunch of 3 or 4 line scripts and creating shortcuts in
Quicksilver to use them.
The only thing I'd say is, for a really new Voiceover user, it might
be a bit of a pain, and it takes some work before it's really
automatic and easy to use. Leopard has an advantage over Tiger, in
that you can put your cursor on the bit near the execute button and
read what you're doing in QS as you're doing it, if you turn off
cursor tracking, which I'd imagine while you're learning will be a
godsend.
I posted a message on this list ages ago about how I use QS and what I
use it for, along with some basic instructions for using it under
Tiger which you can try to search for. If anyone's interested in a
repost, I can do that, too.
