Tip: Quicksilver Without the Enter Key
Hawk Wings links us to a thread on the Quicksilver forums regarding a neat little tip for the application no OS X power user can live without. You're probably familiar with the standard Quicksilver workflow for launching an application– Hit Quicksilver key-combo, type the first few letters of the application name, and hit Enter. Pretty darn simple if I do say so myself- yet this tip dares to make the entire process even simpler!
Instead of going to all the hard work of pressing Enter, simply hold down the key corresponding to the first letter of the application you want, and Quicksilver will open it. Unfortunately this tip only works if you have Quicksilver to display your desired application as the first result when searching with only the one letter.
Now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to exercise my pinky to make up for all the keystrokes this will save.
Update: Matt points out that this works if you need to type more than one letter, just hold the last letter. So for OmniWeb I'd type o-m-n-i-w, and hold W.
