Hi Dave, Well, other than encouraging NoMachine to fix the problem :-) , I guess you could set up an AppleScript action for Quicksilver. I think you could have an action script: - accept a text argument/input - place the input on the pasteboard - activate the Finder - activate NoMachine - keystroke Command-V (to Paste into NoMachine)
Then your “workflow” would be “get the text into Quicksilver’s first panel, then invoke the script above as the action”. I haven’t written a Quicksilver action AppleScript for a long time… it looks like the one I remember having did not even get ported over to my new Mac, but maybe you’ve done this, or someone familiar with it could whip one up?
