#9 Leopard application of the day (Free)
Quicksilver is usually #1 in a list of Mac software, but since the I use mostly spotlight to open applications I use quicksilver a lot less than I use to. However, it’s still a great way to interface with your applications. There is a lot of support and add-ins for the application as well. In order to understand what exactly Quicksilver does check out the YouTube Video below.
Demonstration:
Quicksilver’s greatest strength, however, is not search. Any item you are able to find, drag, or otherwise pull into its universe is endowed with many potential uses. Hitting <tab> takes you to the action field, where you can use the same adaptive search to select what you would like to do. Among other things, files can be emailed, copied, compressed. Text can be modified, transmitted between programs, or searched for on the web. Some actions even support an indirect object, so you can send an item to a person, move files to another folder, or open files with a specific applications.
