That little gem called Quicksilver

[bwana]

Anyone else using this little gem? http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/

Apart from being the best app launcher I've come across - I barely use the dock these days as it's so much quicker via keystroke.

My most recent discovery is the Clipboard history which I've set to remember my past 30 cmd-c's.

Anyone got any handy hints or uses for it?

Is it freeware?

AFAIK its charityware - donate if you want to but yeah - free.

It's like a Google desktop on Mac?

its too quick, my typing is slow at some times, especially after a few Jamesons

Try this - Under preferences>>command increase the reset search after time.

Wait a couple weeks - it will grow on you even more.

The most useful feature of it besides the quick app launches is the integration with firefox bookmarks and the console command history. I dont use mail.app or ichat so I wish there were plugins for thunderbird and adium.

Think it does the same thing with safari's bookmarks too.

I've got the feeling I've yet to scratch the surface of this ap.

Yup uses it extensively. My history is set to 2500. Pity it doesn't have the option for searching the clipboard history.

OSX + MBP is the way forward.

I installed it yesterday and setup a nice quick launch key. I must say to find and launch apps is so sweet and easy.

Damn - 2500!

Yeah - I hardly use the finder or Dashboard anymore. I wonder if Apple is going to model a later version of spotlight on it?
