When starting from fresh, you first need to train QS so it knows what you want. Basically, after some time, QS relates certain letters to certain indexed files or objects in the catalog. So if, for example, you've hit 's' a couple of times and selected 'safari' each time, Quicksilver will remember that's what you want for 's'.
You can also click the dot next to the object name in the drop down list to 'set as default for...' or use the 'assign abbreviation' action. I've not known of a way to sort files in the results list - they're always sorted by order of preference, if I'm correct. I'd suggest running with Quicksilver for a few days, and it'll soon learn what you mean for each character or string of characters. (e.g. for me, 'f' gives me firefox.app but 'ff' gives me 'caffeine.app') On 23 May 2011 13:23, Neil Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > It's been a long time since I used QS, so maybe I'm forgetting something, > but is there no way to force QS to surface applications in results higher > than other items (like files)? > > I swear this used to be the default behaviour, but it's been a couple of > years since I last used QS.
