Oh, there's some more. As a recent switcher you might not know that OS X supports basic emacs editing commands in most text fields (specifically all cocoa text fields). You can see the list towards the end here, but it's ⌃F/B, ⌃A/E, ⌃N/P, ⌃D and even ⌃K/Y. http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/System%20Bindings.html The reason I bring it up is because option D, F, B also work as M-D, M-F and M-B in Emacs. So if you use option as meta in Aquamacs, the basic commands are the same in cocoa text fields, so you might not want to use just option-letter for quicksilver triggers. There are some excellent write ups for further customization here: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/cocoa-text.html http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060317045211408&lsrc=osxh http://blog.macromates.com/2006/multi-stroke-key-bindings/ Howard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
