On Leopard if you look into the global Services menu you will find a Quicksilver sub menu there which contains two entries (greyed out):
1. Get Current Selection (Internal) 2. Send to Quicksilver The first one has by default Cmd+Esc as global shortcut. I'd guess that this is what's used to power the Quicksilver advanced setting "Pull selection from front application instead of Finder". Which makes it work that you can just select text in any app and hit Cmd+Esc and have QS appear in text mode with the selectedt text. On Snow Leopard those entries are absent. And that's even if Quicksilver is a normal dock-icon bearing front app and even if all service entries are enabled on the new Services prefs page which can be found inside the keyboard prefs from System Preferences. I tried to debug the Info.plist part of the missing QS' service menu entries (services are registered with the system by means of specifying it in the app's Info.plist file) by comparing it with Quick Search Box's Info.plist (QSB's service entry does show up unlike QS') but so far have not been able to get QS' needed services to register. Which means all that's working for now on SL should be pulling the selection from the Finder. Cheers André
