Sync Quicksilver Triggers and Settings with Dropbox

15 May 2010

I love using Quicksilver Triggers as globals shortcuts for switching to critical apps like Terminal, and I find myself lost without my favorite shortcuts. For some reason, I never synced my Quicksilver settings across multiple machines, so today I finally did this with Dropbox.

Just run this in Terminal on all your machines and you’ll sync your Quicksilver settings:

mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/App
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Quicksilver ~/Dropbox/App/Quicksilver && ln -s ~/Dropbox/App/Quicksilver ~/Library/Application\ Support/

Btw, here’s a cool Quicksilver trigger for maximizing the current window I just setup.
