Have you got Howards Quicksilver manual? It explains triggers and how to set them up excellently well better than I could. The triggers bit starts at page 34. http://mysite.verizon.net/hmelman/Quicksilver.pdf Bear in mind triggers don't tend to stick till you restart quicksilver. And some people have had problems with certain triggers using B58 though I believe the basic ones like opening applications are fine.
