The best and easiest way to do that would be to create an AppleScript to
carry out that sequence of commands, and then set up a trigger in
Quicksilver to run the script.
Here's a step by step walkthrough for how to do that.
1. Open Script Editor
2. Paste in the following code:
3.
*tell* *application* "System Events"
*keystroke* l using {*command down*}
*keystroke* c using {*command down*}
*keystroke* w using {*command down*}
*key code* 53 using {*command down*}
*keystroke* t using {*command down*}
*keystroke* l using {*command down*}
*keystroke* v using {*command down*}
*key code* 36
*end* *tell*
4. Save this as "Move Tab to Other Chrome Window.scpt" (or whatever you
want to call it) in ~/Documents (an easy place to keep it) or
~/Library/Scripts (the "proper" place) or anywhere you want. Just make sure
the folder you save it in is a folder that Quicksilver indexes.
5. Following the directions in Howard Merman's user guide
<http://qsapp.com/docs/Quicksilver.pdf>, add a trigger to run this
script. Just select the script in the first pane of the trigger, and the
Run action in the second pane.
6. One feature that has been added since Howard wrote his guide is the
ability to define a scope for a trigger. Once you've made the trigger,
click the ⓘ button in the footer bar to show the Info panel for your
trigger. In the Info panel, click on the Scope tab, and then set the scope
to only apply in Chrome.
If you prefer, you could just paste the code above directly into the first
pane of your trigger and then choose the Run as AppleScript action in the
second pane. The net effect will be the same either way.
Side note: If the AppleScript code above makes no sense to you and you are
curious, feel free to ask for an explanation of how it works. :)
