In the Quicksilver tab of the Triggers pane, there should be just two triggers: one is "Command Window in Text Mode", the other is "Command Window with Selection". You want to check the latter, then you can map the key combination to whatever you want. I personally use Ctrl- Option-Space because that seems to not collide with any other application's hotkeys, and it's close enough to Option-Space (my preferred QS hotkey) that I can remember it. I haven't had the problem with having only the "Large Text" option. Hope that helps.
