Okay, there is a MUCH more efficient way to use Quicksilver to send a new task to OmniFocus! Here’s what you do: Set up a new trigger in Quicksilver, and make it do Send to Omnifocus.scpt, Process Text…, then leave the last field blank. Now set up a keystroke for this trigger. Now, instead of -space to activate the Quicksilver window, typing a period followed by the task, tab over and hit ‘S’ for Send to OmniFocus, and hitting enter, you can just hit your trigger, type the task, then hit enter. Much easier, don’t you think? Andys last blog post..1943–2008

Just an update for those who are finding this page from search engines…

My comment above is inaccurate. The Send to OmniFocus script was downloaded from a third party, and I have updated that information in the original blog entry.

Matt,
Good questions.

In Quicksilver, when you tab over to the second box and start typing “send…” does “Send to OmniFocus” not show up? I don’t have a plugin for quicksilver, but there is a “Send to OmniFocus” script in my /library/application support/quicksilver/actions folder. I don’t remember installing it there…I think OmniFocus did it automatically. Let me know if you don’t have it…I can send it to you.

The Quicksilver interface was designed to showcase some Leopard features, so it requires Leopard. It comes from here: http://www.mygnu.com/julius/proj_qs.html

Hey John, I have been trying to figure out how you integrated OmniFocus with quicksilver… was it a separate plug in? The comman followed by period isnt doing it for me…

Also, where did you get that sleek looking skin (the black one… top picture) for the quicksilver interface?

good stuff John. i’m personally diggin Actiontastic for the Mac. it’s free and has a Quicksilver plugin and interfaces with Mail.app as well. not as slick, functional, or pretty (very important) but for the time being, the price is right.
