I use QS hotkeys mainly as launchers, with the same command+control +letter system (Protip: Change Capslock into Control in the Keyboard pane in the System Preferences).
I normally use the starting letter of the service I want: M: Music: iTunes (different modifier brings up "Now Playing" growl notification) I: Internet: Camino (dif. modifiers for other browsers) E: Email: Mail.app N: Notes: OmniOutliner (dif. modifier held down quickly pulls out my inclass note taking template) A:AIM: Adium (dif. modifier launches Skype) T: Todos: OmniFocus W: Writing: Pages C: Clipboard: Show Clipboard History Contents S: Shelf: Show Shelf R: Calendar: iCal (This is from way back when I used Remember! on OS9. Anyone "remember" that app? Cute icon) G: Google Search V: moVe current finder Item To... (This hotkey alone saves me 134324 hours a day). For iTunes control, I've used Command F12 for play/pause (F12 was the Pause key on my old extended keyboard, another ancient trigger) Command F9/F10 are Rewind/FF (On pro laptops, the keyboard lighting icons are somewhat representative) Ratings are Comand F1-F5. Hold option on F1/F2 for 1/2 star changes (through a dougsapplescript) These are my main triggers. I used to have tons more (common folders, proxy actions, etc), but since I've been trashing my prefs every other week or so (it seems), I don't add them anymore, utilizing the "type and hold" trick to quickly launch other common apps (ie: "P" -> "S (Hold)" ==> Photoshop launches). ...I really should add some more Websearch hotkeys, but Quicksearch bookmarklets in Camino (and the aforementioned problem) discourage this practice. I've always been a hotkey nut though, so these things come as second nature (I've just about integrated OSX's built-in EMACs hotkeys into my workflow... now I can go hours w/o touching the mouse). Hope that helps!
