Long time QS user here. I just recently upgrade my machine to 10.12...

running 10.10 before and I noticed that apparently "Get current

no longer works in the terminal.app.
I haven’t seen that work for a while, but never investigated why. I
assumed it was because I had “Secure Keyboard Entry” enabled, but
maybe not.
You can mark the text but when you hit cmd-esc nothing happens.
Well, not nothing. You get a nice 3 second delay. 😀
The delay is Quicksilver waiting for the app to figure out and return a
selection. After that, it gives up and just copies the selection. Why
_that_ isn’t working is another mystery.
Apparently this shortcut is now used by the terminal.app internally
since I see the "Edit" Menu entry lightning up when it happens but I
was not able figure out to what's triggered by it so I cannot change
it.
I had never noticed that, but it could explain why Get Current Selection
broke.
Is there any way to get this working in the terminal.app again?
Maybe, but the solution probably involves changing [Quicksilver’s
code][1]. You up for it?
Failing that, you can use the mouse instead of the keyboard (picking Get
Current Selection from the Services menu).
When I’m using `tmux`, I have a key bound to send its selection to
Quicksilver. (I had to use S because Q was taken.)
