I was using launchy on Windows, and I'm finally using its original OS X counter-part Quicksilver.

I've grown accustomed to pressing Shift+Space for triggering it, yet I don't seem to get it to work. Is there any "registry" setting I can tweak to force it to take Shift+Space as trigger?

The other question should be a separate one! Regarding the keyboard shortcut: As far as I'm concerned, there's no way you can make a keyboard shortcut anywhere in OS X that takes Shift plus any other key (even if it's Space). – slhck Oct 30 '11 at 23:20
ok, thanks. I will delete this question then. – Nik Oct 30 '11 at 23:48
@slhck Many shortcut recorders allow using just shift as a modifier key. (Even when they don't, you can sometimes modify the shortcut from a plist.) I didn't find anything in com.blacktree.QuickSilver.plist though. – Lri Oct 31 '11 at 6:27
Nik, don't delete it. Who knows, maybe some day? – slhck Oct 31 '11 at 9:05
@slhck okay, I won't. – Nik Oct 31 '11 at 18:21

The following steps are tested & working in QS ß65(3920):

  • Assign some other key first
  • Quit Quicksilver
  • Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist
  • Under QSActivationHotKey, Change keyCode to 49, modifiers to 8519938
  • Launch Quicksilver
