The great thing about Quicksilver is the grammar - it's actually object, verb, indirect object. That lets you do things like <file>, <email to>, <person>. Alfr

Alfred didn't have that basic structure when I tried it. I'm sure it's quite powerful, probably more so than QS given the latter's long stagnation. But I never bothered to figure out how to use Alfred effectively because QS is so easy and works great. There were a couple of bugs that were annoying for a while, but they've been fixed.
Kakoune doesn't mention the "indirect object" part of the grammar, but apparently it'll prompt for more information when needed, so it's pretty close.
- eridius 10y agoAlfred does use that structure, and as far as I remember, it always has. I can indeed do <file>, <email to>, <person> in Alfred (though my most common object, verb, indirect object sequence is <file>, <open in>, <app>).
