Thanks to you and Howard - nearly works! Couple of problems:
1) When invoking QS using Cmd-ESc, QS only gives me one option: 'large text'. It doesn't appear to search for the text like normal. Which means it's pretty useless for what I need! 2) The specific app I want to use this in Things (at GTD app), seems to respond the Cmd-Esc as if it's just Esc, and QS isn't invoked. Other apps seem to be ok.
