The links I provided yesterday point to the application inside of the component package. These aren't in the default path Quicksilver searches for Applications in, but one can add a custom scanner for those two locations. <file:///System/Library/Components/KeyboardViewer.component/Contents/SharedS upport/KeyboardViewerServer.app> <file:///System/Library/Components/CharacterPalette.component/Contents/Share dSupport/CharPaletteServer.app> > I thought about another third party add on MEnuMaster which will but it > needs APE and thus may not be everyone's cup of tea.

The other route is to write two very short AppleScripts to launch the apps: do shell script "open /System/Library/Components/KeyboardViewer.component/Contents/SharedSupport/K eyboardViewerServer.app" do shell script "open /System/Library/Components/CharacterPalette.component/Contents/SharedSupport /CharPaletteServer.app" Save them as applications and put them in /Applications or ~/Applications and have QuickSilver rescan its catalog. -Remo Del Bello -- ³I was asked to come to Chicago because Chicago is one of our fifty-two states.² - Racquel Welch
