All mice must die! January 3, 2006
Posted by James Webster in : apple, software , trackbackRui has a nice summary of how to configure Quicksilver to access the current application’s menu items. The upshot; all menu items can be easily navigated via the keyboard, generally in fewer keystrokes than the standard Ctrl-F2 keyboard shortcut.
In my book, any tool that lessens reliance on the mouse is a Good Thing. I just wish there was a way to pop-up the context menu in OS X… maybe there is but I have yet to find it.
Frankly, I think Quicksilver is one of the killer apps for OS X. I am deeply disappointed that there isn’t a decent equivalent for Windows. Candy Labs have a product AppRocket that implements a little of Quicksilver’s functionality for Windows, but not enough I am afraid.
All I need now is a decent way to navigate around a web page’s links without touching the keyboard; hmmm, maybe I need an eye tracker?!
