plz tell me if i am doing something wrong:
i have set some shortcuts:
Option-G for google
and some other shortcuts like Option-<some alphabet> for other
search engines.
would it result in any conflict with "commonly used" apps?
Hard to know what "commonly used" means, and doesn't really matter.
I have not found any conflicts yet.
This is what matters.
would it suppress any default actions which these shorcuts were meant
to perform? (if i am not wrong, when a trigger is set in QS, the
trigger alone works even if the shortcut keys used for that trigger
are meant to do something else in any app)
You are correct. A trigger "consumes" the keypress event, the
application doesn't see it to act on it.
i m asking these bcoz most of you seem to use three key shortcuts for
search engines. Or is it just that you use two key shortcuts (option-
<some alphabet> for something else?
can i also use option-<some number key>.....i have not seen it being
used by others
Try it and see. :)
I use Emacs which uses many many key combinations. TextMate is another
program that uses virtually every key combination. Photoshop is
another. But QS is configurable so you can find solutions that work
for you. If you've found one, use it. If later you find it conflicts
with something you want to do, change it.
