Hi,

Is is possible to enter text mode using any key other than the period key? For instance, I would like to replace the period  (.) by the semi-colon (;) as the latter is closer to my fingers.

Thanks in advance

AFAIR, you can change it in this file /Applications/Quıcĸsıɩⅴεʀ.app/Contents/Frameworks/QSInterface.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DefaultBindings.qskeys.

There’s a built-in trigger for “Command Window in Text Mode”, but it’s disabled by default. You could assign a keystroke to that, and optionally make it active only in Quicksilver if you want. I’m pretty sure it has to have a modifier, though. Besides, ; is “taken”. (If you have multiple things selected using the comma trick, ; will combine them into a single item.)

Thank you. I replaced the key of the transmogrify string by the semi-colon and that of the combine string by period, and it worked. Hopefully, there will be no side-effect.
