Alternate Actions¶

Alternate actions are a powerful feature of Quicksilver. When a user selects an action in the second pane, they can hit ↩ to run it, or they can hit ⌘↩ to run an alternate (if one is defined). Generally an alternate action will be similar to the main action, but modified in some way.

You can view the alternate to a given action (if it exists) by holding the ⌘ key when Quicksilver's interface is open. You can view a full list of the alternate actions in the "Alternate Action (⌘↩)" column of the Actions preference pane.
