![]() The first item listed is Online Contacts, type → into that to see just the online (including idle) buddies. ![]() If Adium is running, typing → into it will show a results list of all buddies including offline buddies and entries representing groups. Bring up Adium in the first pane and notice the > in the results list. The Adium Module plugin allows the IM actions to work with Adium. Download the plugin, double-click it to install it in Quicksilver and in Quicksilver’s Preferences under Handler, set Instant Messager to be Adium. No Adium plugin appears in the plugin list, but a new plugin that works with Adium 1.0 is under development and is available from this forum thread. Now that Adium is past version 1.0, that plugin has been removed. The original Adium plugin for Quicksilver only worked with Adium up to version 0.89.1. The iChat module plugin has one action specific to it, Set iChat Status which uses the text of the object pane as the away message (although in version 0.5.0 of the plugin this seems buggy). These will start an audio or video chat as if the Invite to Audio Chat or Invite to Video Chat commands were selected from iChat’s Buddies menu. The iChat module plugin also supports the Audio Chat and Video Chat actions. Begin a chat by using the IM or IM Item… actions as described above. Quicksilver will not start iChat as a result of typing →. If iChat is running, typing → into it will show a results list of all online (including idle) buddies. Bring up iChat in the first pane and notice the > in the results list. The iChat Module plugin allows the IM actions to work with iChat. For other people I keep their IM addresses in Contacts and if I want to IM them I can bring up their contact or one of their IM accounts and use the IM action. Personally I keep a small buddy list of just the people I chat with often and care if they are online. ![]() Some people hide the client list window of their IM application and just use Quicksilver when they want to start a chat session. Quicksilver’s matching algorithm is a great way to quickly find a buddy in a large buddy list. Both the iChat and Adium plugins allow Quicksilver to show a results list of just online buddies by typing → into the iChat or Adium applications in the first pane. The IM actions work with contacts from the Contacts (or other contacts plugin) that have IM addresses entered from the global catalog. This is convenient if using ⌘ ⎋ to bring selected items into Quicksilver’s first pane. IM to Account… is the reverse of this, select a file or text in the first pane and the IM account or contact in the third. In the third pane specify a file to transfer or enter text mode by typing. Send text or a file directly from Quicksilver by using the IM Item… action. IM opens a new chat window connected to the contact. The IM and IM Item… actions work on an IM address or a contact (if at least one IM address is entered, the first one is used). Install one or both of these plugins and then in Quicksilver Preferences under Handlers set the Instant Messaging handler to one of them. Currently there is support for iChat and Adium, each via their own plugins. There is a Handler called Instant Messaging which defines which application to use for the basic actions. are all part of the Chat Support default plugin. The basic actions, IM, IM Item., and IM to Account.
