The Current Selection object does not work with Safari or TextEdit (or any other application I have tried). However the cmd-esc (or cmd-G) method works to grab selections from those applications. The problem arises when I want to use the "Current Selection" object. I would prefer to have the Current Selection object work however so I set up triggers. I don't know how I would be able to set up a trigger with the current selection otherwise.
