I use Quicksilver to search the web a lot, and I'm trying to skip a
few steps. I understood that you can assign a hotkey that will do the
first two steps in an argument so that you just have to do the final
one.
For e.g.: I'd like Command-Shift-G to bring up Quicksilver with the
final step of a "Google Search" + "Search For" (Text) argument so that
all I have to do is type Cmd-Shift-G and the Quicksilver text box pops
up and I can type my search and be whisked away to google.
When I go to assign the custom trigger in the preferences, though,
what happens when I press the hotkeys is it launches safari and gives
me to the google homepage. While this is kind of convenient, it's not
really what I have in mind.

Any solutions? I'm running B54 on the most current version of
Leopard.

(PS. Another related annoying problem. When I go to program hotkeys
Quicksilver never actually shows me what the hotkey combo is in the
Edit pane. For example, if I want the hotkey to be Cmd-Shift-G the
only thing I see is Cmd-Shift . . . no G. Not a huge deal, but as I
add more hotkeys it'd be nice to have them visible so I can remember
what's assigned to what . . . )
