Subject: Re: Application Switching suggestion


The Running Applications & Processes (Catalog) entry will allow you to right-arrow into it to see a llst of all running processes, or make a trigger with it and the Show Contents action. Unfortunately it is not a stack so there's no quick keystroke to toggle between two apps. (You probably need advanced features enabled and need to check the Quicksilver Catalog Entries catalog source under Quicksilver in the catalog.)

Instead I have several triggers for my most used apps with the Toggle Application action and switch between them easily. ctl-cmd-j for safari, ctl-cmd-k for netnewswire, ctl-cmd-m for Mail, etc. This means I can in one keystroke switch between apps regardless of their position on the stack.

Or you could use the mac standard cmd-tab keystroke which will toggle between the last two used apps.

I love Quicksilver, and have used it for years now. I still keep
LaunchBar running on my machines for just one thing: Application
Switching.

I love that repeated hits of cmd-space (or whatever your trigger keys
are) brings up a drop down that steps me through my running apps. Two
slaps switches between the top two apps in the stack. It's a great way
to go back and forth between two, as when needing to copy from one and
paste to another.

If Quicksilver had this feature I'd be able to abandon LaunchBar
completely.

Thanks.
