Kapp, in the things you listed as being awesome you did not list Quicksilver, and this terrifies me. Does anyone know if there's a Windows equivalent for my desktop?
I have to use Firefox OS X because Camino and Safari don't understand Firefox plugins. Also, Safari doesn't do F5 reload, and various other tiny annoyances I don't know how to fix. Definitely love its font rendering, though :( |
Nothing on windows can do what quicksilver does, Colibri does the app launching part but none of the things that make quicksilver an interesting application. Colibri looks a bit dead though so its unlikely a windows app will ever catch up with quicksilver now, it would just need too much work.
With quicksilver you could dig into your itunes library and give a song a star rating.
or find an image file on your hard drive, resize it, convert it to a jpg and then email, send it to an IM user it or upload it to ftp or imageshack and copy the url to the keyboard.
All in a few key presses, it really is quite amazing but is a little too powerful for my needs :)
As for safari F5 reload (Hate F5 reload, its got absolutely no connection to the action other than "IE used it", cmd+R makes much more sense) have you tried the system preferences keyboard section, you can remap shortcut keys in any osx application from there, try remapping reload to F5 if it lets you use single keys. |
launchy > colibri, imo
