Hello. Quicksilver is able to get the selected text and the currently open document from TextMate using standard Cocoa stuff, but I’ve always wanted a way to grab the file(s) selected in the File Browser.
This will require a new Quicksilver plug-in, but I can handle that end of it.
Is there any way to ask TextMate for the selected file(s) when the browser has focus?
And once I tell Quicksilver to use some app-specific selection behavior, the currently working text selection is going to break, so I need a way to get any selected text in the editor when it has focus as well.
If this isn’t currently possible, could it be added?
Thanks!
Could a OS X level Service be written? As in Right Click -> Services -> "Send selection to Quicksilver". I wouldn’t know where to start, but thats the only 3rd party functionality I know of for the file drawer.
I use Quicksilver too, and I’d love to see it get wider usage. I have a "Copy current path" command, if I then paste that path into Quicksilver, Quicksilver is smart enough to know that the file exists and the menus change as though I had selected the file. Screenshot of Copy Current Path command on Imgur.
Thanks, Graham Heath

You could also make a bundle action that checks TM_SELECTED_FILE (or even TM_SELECTED_FILES) and execute qs (the command line tool).

Getting the currently selected file in LaunchBar works without any configuration or extension, so I guess it should be quite easy to get it to work in QS

Getting the currently selected file in QS also works for me without any configuration or extension. Only doesn't seem to work for multiple selections.

I guess I could have actually tried it before asking. <face palm>
I’m sure I did, but perhaps it was before the switch to a view-based browser.
I’ll look into the multiple files business. Can’t have LaunchBar doing something better than QS! ;-)
