I was in a meeting a week or two ago where one of my bosses was using the Mac in our conference room and, upon realizing he had to open another app, hit Command-Space as a reflex. Nothing happened – Quicksilver wasn’t installed. Those of us who use Quicksilver (about half of my group) all giggled – because we’ve all been there, grappling on a machine without QS installed.
For those of you who, like my boss and my coworkers, live and die by Quicksilver, there’s a plugin you should definitely check out. Its name is Abracadabra, and it enables a third trigger type: *mouse gestures*. I got to play with this while it was in alpha, and I have to say, it’s really damn slick, and a natural extension on top of QS.
Marcus Volwalker has a [great tutorial](http://marcusvorwaller.com/blog/archives/2006/02/20/quicksilver-abracadabra-gestures/) to help you get started. And if you need help with triggers in general, check my [last tutorial](https://vjarmy.com/archives/2006/01/quicksilver_gold_trigger.php).
