Space Ctrl Ctrl with Quicksilver on Mac
Posted in Technicalon Mar 19, 2006
I was recently reading the Official Google Blog and read a post titled Stay in Ctrl Ctrl which was about Google Desktop coming out of beta. They added a new feature called Quick Search Box which allows you to press the Ctrl key twice, get a search box, type in the name of an application or document, and quickly launch it. I’m a Mac user, and so Google Desktop doesn’t really interest me that much. But the quick search box seemed very similar to some functionality provided by an application called Quicksilver. This is a very popular (and free) application that allows users to get a quick search box by using a Ctrl+Space key combination. Then the user can type in just a few letters of an application or document and launch or open the selected item. I’m glad that all my windows friends will finally find some easy document and application launching through Google Desktop. Odd though how similar it is in concept to Quicksilver.
