My suggestion is to forget about the services menu entry and the ⌘G function, and instead just use the Command Window with Selection trigger. Assign ⌘Esc as the key combo for the Command Window with Selection, and just use that one key combo for all your needs.


I did this for a long time, with one exception.

One of the problems I encountered was that in OmniWeb, "Command Window with Selection" would grab the URL of the current page instead of the selected text. I got around this by setting the scope for the trigger to Finder and Path Finder, since the default ⌘Esc in the Services menu seemed to work fine everywhere else. As we all know, scopes fall down go boom in 10.5, so now I just live without the trigger and use ⌘G in the rare case that I need to grab multiple file in the Finder.

It's possible that OmniWeb is the only application that has a problem with the trigger, so if you never use it, you're probably fine letting it be active in all apps.

Don't try to tell me a thing is important to you if the whole of your "support" entails forcing other to spend time and money on it.
