It still appears to be broken. In any case, since it sounds like you want to search for the current selection using Quicksilver’s interface, and not by using a trigger. That can be accomplished by grabbing the current selection with ⌘⎋ and calling up the Find With… action. Two things that will speed this up: 1. Enable the “Focus action when displaying results” preference. That will mean the action is already selected after you hit ⌘⎋ so you can just start typing ‘fw’ or whatever. You could of course make Find With… the default for text if that makes sense for you. 2. The search you use most often should appear by default in the third pane as of B71. So, once Quicksilver learns what you use most often, you should be able to search for the current selection with just 3 keystrokes: ⌘⎋ f ↩ Or if Find With… is the default for text, just 2: ⌘⎋ ↩ > I've noticed that "current selection" doesn't seem to really be grabbing > selected text.

I see this with some text in Safari, but not all. Some page layouts might confuse the selection process. It seems to work reliably in all other OS X applications. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
