Typing output of a trigger

[Mathieu Daëron]

I'm a long-time Quicksilver user but I never used triggers before. I'd like to create a trigger to type the output of a shell command, e.g.:

date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"

I installed the Terminal plugin, defined a trigger with the command above as input, and with the action "Run command in shell". This very quickly returns the time stamp in Quicksilver itself, but I would like the trigger to directly type that output as text without activating the "Type" action.

Is that impossible or am I missing something? I didn't find anything relevant in the documentation.

Thanks for Quicksilver, by the way.

To do it in one step, I’d just create an AppleScript that types the date and use QS to run it. If you put it in ~/Library/Scripts, it will get added to the catalog automatically.
