Hey hey
Is this supposed to be a file which can be executed through the script
editor? Which program is supposed to execute it? I wanted to know so
I could test it and set it up with quicksilver. I feel like it would
be redundant to install spark when I already have a more advanced hot
key management program installed.
Thanks much this looks fun
