Re: force consecutive characters?

['Nathan Henrie' via Quicksilver]

I think what you're looking for is to change results matching from "best guess" to "filter results" (going from memory). I think the default keyboard shortcut is command arrow (right or left), once you've started a query, which makes it quick and easy to change the setting on the fly. Should probably add this to https://qsapp.com/manual/Introduction/#matching, I think I'd been using QS for nearly a decade before I discovered this. Then again I'm not big on reading manuals so maybe that's on me :) Hopefully that helps. Stuart you are certainly under no obligation to use our free software if it doesn't fit your process. Alfred and Raycast are interesting alternatives under more active development. QS has always appealed to me above the competition due to customizability and being FOSS, which means I can peek under the covers, develop my own plug-ins, or even contribute back to the project if I see an opportunity for improvement.

Is there a way to tell Quicksilver that for the current search, the letters typed should be consecutive?  (I don't want to do this for every invocation.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
