'current application' is what is known as a proxy object. in order to have proxy objects enabled in Quicksilver, you must enable 'advanced features' in the preferences.
Once this is done, if you look in the 'catalog' prefs under 'Quicksilver' you should see the current application object. I have also posted this to the groups, so if this does not sort your problem, perhaps someone else will be able to help :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael <[email protected]> Date: 8 September 2011 19:09 Subject: Re: Seeking alt-letter-letter menubar control (to mimic Windows) To: Patrick Robertson <[email protected]> Hi, I'm trying to respond to the post, but all I'm getting is an option to reply to author, sorry. I hope it's not an intrusion. I'm excited about Quicksilver and it's ability to get to the menu more easily. This might enable me to finally make the switch to Mac from Windows. But I'm trying what's discussed in the post, including enable the Universal Access option as described, but when I search in QS, there's no "Current Application" that shows up as I type "current ap...". Do you have any suggestions?
