i dont know anything about Matlab but Ctrl-F6 moves focus to the floating window. See if it solves your problem of using the mouse to click it. Secondly, it must have something to do with the application and not QS. For example, Activity Monitor--you always have to click on the dock icon to bring up the window after opening it.

Hi all - I use QuickSilver triggers to switch between applications I use frequently, just by setting up triggers for "Application -> Open". The only one that's giving me a problem is Matlab, which requires X11 to run and isn't terribly well integrated into MacOS. If I run "Matlab -> Open" or "Matlab -> Activate" from Quicksilver, it activates the Matlab application, but doesn't actually set the focus to the main Matlab command window, so I still have to click in the window (which is what I'm trying to avoid). Any thoughts on how to actually activate a specific window from Quicksilver? Cheers, Eric Details: MacOS X 10.5.5 QS B54 (3815) (and if it matters) Matlab R2008a
