Quicksilver : appending text to a text document from clipboard?

Can't you type period, ".", which should allow you to edit the box and then paste your clipboard item in there? Alternatively you can select you text, invoke the Quicksilver window and press command+G, which should grab anything you just selected and allows you to make it actionable.

Appending then requires you to select the 'append to' command in the next pane and then the file you want to add the text to.

Hope that answers your question.

I'm assuming you're using QS's ability to keep a clipboard history. If not, use the tip above.

My guess would be to use QS to trump through your clipboard history (a little cludgy, but can be done) and once you've found the selection you want, use Ctrl+Enter to load the selection into the first pane.

After that, it's no different from appending regular text.

So here are the steps...
Invoke QS
Type 'Clipboard' <TAB>
'View Contents' <TAB>
...find the entry you want <Ctrl+Enter> <TAB>
'Append to...' <TAB>
name of text file

I think that would work, but since I'm not on my Mac currently, that's somewhat of a guess.
