I get the same behaviour as you do. Unfortunately, there is not much point in trying to fix it, because of a limitation involving triggers and the Current Application (Menu Bar...) <whatever> sentence.
>From Howard's user guide, p. 41: There are some limits to triggers that you can create. You can’t save a trigger with a dynamic action. Dynamic actions are those that ask the application at runtime for their content. So the "Current Application (Menu Bar…)" trigger above works, but you can’t do "Current Application (Menu Bar…) Help". Also actions that appear only for particular applications can’t be saved as triggers, so you can’t do Mail (Get New Mail). For some of these you can physically create the trigger but they won’t save properly and will be broken on Quicksilver relaunch. What this means is that you can create a trigger that simply popped up the QS command window with Current Application already in the first pane and Menu Bar... already in the second pane, ready for you to hit W to select Window in the third pane. But you cannot (permanently) create a trigger that already has Window selected in the third pane. As a workaround, paste the following text into the first pane of the trigger, and use "Run as Applescript" in the second pane. tell application "System Events" to ¬ tell (first application process whose frontmost is true) ¬ to click menu bar item "Window" of menu bar 1 of it On Jul 16, 12:39 pm, Appfire <[email protected]> wrote: > I am trying to set a hot key Alt + W so that no matter which > application I am on, if I press this key, it brings the window menu > from the menu bar.
