    Arjan - well done, thx. One hint: your "written" URL in the comment has a typo: you wrote "culteredcode.com", but it should be "culturedcode.com"...
    regards - Gernot

    Nice tutorials, Arjan! For those who have been playing around with the new version of Firefox (3) in combination with Things: Firefox doesn't support services. Firefox apparently never has, nor does it seem that it ever will. So, in order to use services with Things, you'll have to use a browser like Safari that does indeed support services.

    I don't understand how 'Creating a New Keyboard Shortcut' works.

    How does the computer know what action to take when you press control-option-command-keyboard? It seems like a link is missing in your instructions?

    LOL. “Control–Option–Shift–Command–Spacebar it's like putting your whole fist down at once.”

    One alternative to using System Preferences to setup the hotkey is to use Quicksilver Triggers
