Jon, what do you mean by "first pane"? The first (left) pane within the QS pop-up window that shows up when I hit the hot-key to activate it?
I presume "actions" are the items that show up in the dropdown menu in the QS pop-up window?cu So right now Safari is the current app, I'm typing this reply. If I hit ctrl-spacebar the QS window opens. I start typing "cu" and the Current Application item shows up in its left pane, with the Safari icon. In the dropdown menu beneath it, I see "Current Application" item with the Safari icon next to it. I don't see any "Show Menu Items" in the list. Then what do I do? Navigating to the right of this just gives me a "Safari.app" item, and further navigation to the right again gives me a bunch of safari-related items like History and BookmarksBar, but no menu items. What am I doing wrong, if it's possible to determine from what I've written? Thanks, M On Sep 21, 2:29 am, Jon Stovell <[email protected]> wrote: > No, no.
