# Quicksilver ships no command-line tool, so `detect` carries the bundle

# identifier. The project's own README names the preferences domain to back up

# — ~/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist — and the Homebrew

# cask's zap stanza lists the same file

# (https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/quicksilver.json).

detect = ["com.blacktree.Quicksilver"]

platforms = ["macos"]

# The project's own README ("Before Trying the Source Code — ALWAYS BACKUP your

# user data") names the three places Quicksilver keeps state:

# * ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver → [appData]/Quicksilver/

# * ~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver (a cache, not listed here)

# * ~/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist → [preferences]/…

# Quicksilver/Code-QuickStepCore/QSPaths.h names what is inside the first one:

# Triggers.plist (the user's triggers), Catalog.plist (which catalog sources

# are enabled), Presets.plist and Shelves/ — all of it configuration. It is a

# direct download rather than a Mac App Store app, so it is not sandboxed and

# the preferences domain is the plain file in ~/Library/Preferences.

paths = [

"[appData]/Quicksilver/",

"[preferences]/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist",

]

# The rest of QSPaths.h, carved out of the directory above:

# pCacheLocation = "Caches/" inside Application Support

# psMainPlugInsLocation = "PlugIns/" downloaded plug-in bundles

# pUpdatePath = "QSAppUpdateFolder" downloaded updates

# pMnemonicStorage = "Mnemonics.plist" — The_Map.md calls it the file

# that "heavily influences an object's rank" and says it "is constantly

# updated": one machine's learned typing habits, not a setting.

# Quicksilver has no account. Its catalog indexes are in ~/Library/Caches, not

# here, and nothing under Application Support is a credential.

secret = []

# No machine_lines: these are property lists, which `match` cannot read —

# `format` covers toml, yaml and json only. The one machine-flavoured thing

# left in the tree is a catalog source pointing at an absolute directory, and

# a plist rule for it cannot be written.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/quicksilver. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page.
