No to both of those questions.

I've just noticed something though - all the triggers work when I select a
file or folder. It's only text that's not working.

That doesn’t surprise me. When getting “Current Selection”, the first step is to see if any plug-ins claim they understand how to talk to the active application. If you’re in Finder, the Finder plug-in will take over and get the file(s). Something similar happens when you have a track or playlist selected in iTunes.

In most cases, no plug-in claims to know what to do for the current application, so it falls back to a “best effort”, which is to copy the selection to a temporary pasteboard, then stick that into the interface. This fallback behavior seems to be what’s failing for you.

Try this:

  1. Select some text
  2. Copy it with ⌘C
  3. Invoke Quicksilver
  4. Paste into the first pane with ⌘V

I’m hoping that will sort-of mimic the behavior that happens behind the scenes.
