A "To-Do List" App?

* You use cmd or ctrl-space to bring up Quicksilver

* Hit the . (period) key to go into text mode

* Type a note, action item, or anything that you want to add to kGTD/OmniOutliner

* Press "tab" to go to the QS action pane

* Start typing kgtd to bring up the kGTD action

* Hit return to send your note to your kGTD inbox

It sounds like a lot of steps, but it's really easy to do. No matter what you're in the middle of, it only take s a couple seconds to add an item to OmniOutliner. It's much less of a distraction than pulling up OmniOutliner, going to your inbox, entering your note, and going back to the program you were using. You can also send notes directly to projects and lists in OmniOutliner. See the link above.

Awesome! Thanks, Flowbee. I was just having problems with the syntax.

Here's another question, though: What is the point of adding things to the inbox? Can things be moved from the inbox to the projects section later on? If so how?

Well, this gets to the core of the GTD system, which is to get everything written down and into your inbox. When you process your inbox, you either do the task (if it takes less than 2 minutes) or make sure it gets put into the right project, list, or folder, which all get reviewed regularly.

In kGTD/Omni outliner, the inbox has columns with drop-down menus for each item. That way you can assign each item to a project or list.
