Hi,

I have a small feature request: for Terminal and Finder would it be
possible to have a new window action?

Thanks,
G

You can simulate this now using the updated UI access plugin, (
http://github.com/
neurolepsy/blacktree-elements/downloads )
through the "Show Menu Items" action. It's a little clunky, but you
could set up a trigger to access all of the menu bar items and get a
lot more than just "new window."

You can use Applescript Editor to make two quick applescripts, save
them in your ~/Library/Scripts/ folder, and then in QS (after
restarting it) start typing the name of your script, tab over and type
till you see "Run", which will run the script.

For the Finder, opens a new window targeted to your desktop folder. If
you prefer it to open a window of your home folder, just change the
word desktop to home:

set dPath to path to desktop folder
tell application "Finder"
open dPath
end tell


For the terminal, you can use the following script, but you can also
activate QS, type a period to get a text entry, leave it blank and tab
over, type Terminal, and when you see "Run Text Command in Terminal"
hit enter. This will open a new Terminal Window, with a blank
command.

If you prefer an applescript solution to opening a terminal window
it's a one line applescript:

tell application "Terminal" to do script ""
