That doesn't solve the issue. I have also tried escape, enter and ctrl-
c. Only return reenables the modifier-only activation. I have also
tried setting the modifier-only activation to different modifiers.
Even after invoking Quicksilver by HotKey-activation, modifier-only
activation continues not to work. Even after switching to another
application or after quitting the terminal altogether, it continues
not to work. But as soon as I produce a return, it will work again --
even if, for instance, the return is produced in this text input
window.

That reminds me that in some other occasions, I also have been unable
to use the modifier-only activation. Sometimes, I suspected it were
somehow related with browsing secure websites. But never before have I
been able to pin the problem down to a specific step, like the
"keycode return" in this AppleScript.

Yes, that would be exactly what I want. However, I fail to make it
work. I am running ß61 (3900). When I install the "Terminal Module"
from within Quicksilver, I get version 2.0.0 from 2011-07-15. It does
not feature any "open terminal" action, but a "Go to Directory in
Terminal" action. That action seems not to work on applications, but
only on folders, and it invariably opens a new terminal window.
Additionally, there is another "New Terminal at Folder" action. I have
been unable to invoke it at all: When I select a folder in pane 1 and
type "terminal" in pane 2 or when I type "terminal" in pane 1, it just
won't show up even though it is enabled in the Actions tab of the
preferences.

I don't know what I am missing. I would indeed gladly prefer the
Terminal Module from within Quicksilver over my own quick and dirty
AppleScript, but the Terminal Module just does not work for me
(neither do the New Terminal entries of the Services menu).
