[quote]It’s useful to assign triggers to HotKeys in some pattern so

easier to remember. I use
⌃⌘W to search Wikipedia for text I enter, and I add ⇧ to the se-
quence to search for selected text. I have similar pairs of triggers
for other quick searches such
as Google (
⌃⌘G), IMDB (⌃⌘M), and Amazon (Z). These triggers are some of
the most
frequent ways I use Quicksilver. [/quote]
I am still not very comfortable understanding what shortcuts should i
set. I want some guidance on how to avoid using conflicting shortcuts
and secondly what keys to set for different actions in the same app.
(e.g. say i have four triggers relating to Safari, i want to include
"S" somewhere in my shortcut to remind me of Safari but what should be
the other shortcut if i use "S" for one of them.
It's hard to advise since it's what's easiest for you to remember and
involves what other shortcuts you might have or use regularly. It's
also difficult to suggest things without knowing what triggers you're
considering. Techniques involving using mnemonics as I described
above, or using adjacent keys for similar things (cut, copy and paste
are on ⌘X, ⌘C, ⌘V) or function keys, etc.
HotKeys are easy to change in the Triggers Preferences Panel so don't
be afraid to try something and correct things if it doesn't work out.
