The script makes up for a previous bug as described in the fix.
https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/pull/446
It’ll remove useless entries [potentially] speeding up the matching process.
We’ve talked about including the script in a couple of Quicksilver releases and
having it run in the background, but I’m not sure of the best way to handle
that.
Feel free to run it manually for now (`python clean_mnemonics.py` in the
Terminal). Your original file will be copied to the Desktop. Hang onto it in
case you run into any problems. It’ll quit Quicksilver for you and restart it
after, so leave it up and running.
