apologies, I did search for long (the description of the things I tried should hint at that), but did not come across your post. > I've written an applescript which sends your current selection in just > about any application to QS.

Unfortunately it doesn't address my main use case with URLs. if I select anything of the form proto://path/to/file and run qsGetSel the text will br truncated to the : . This is really not dependent on urls, I can reproduce with any test, for example foo:bar:baz -> qsGetSel will bring up QS window with "baz" only. Unfortunately I don't really know much about applescript, but looking at the code it seems to be due to something in the klChar functions. If I paste after running qsGetSel I get the whole string, so the part getting data from the clipboard is working fine, hence the guess that something is happening inside klChar. The code in there seems to be trimming leading and trailing spaces so I'm not really sure why the ":" is causing a problem. thank you very much for your help.
