Tags: This one’s probably obvious to most Quicksilver users, but one of the things I hate is when I’m deep into writing some code and a song comes on iTunes that I want to skip. Most of the time when I’m working, I have iTunes running some playlist on random, and when a song comes on that I don’t want to listen to, I have to switch over to iTunes from whatever application I’m using to click “next.” it’s a pain in the ass and can easily distract me from my workflow. So, today I set up a couple of Quicksilver triggers to give myself easy access to the next and previous songs in my iTunes playlist. I set up CMD-ArrowRight for next song and CMD-ArrowLeft for previous. It’s simple, but a lifesaver when the need arises. Just go into Quicksilver, type CMD-’ to go to the triggers section, click on the iTunes icon for the iTunes triggers and activate the triggers for next song and previous song.

Take caution when following this tip verbatim. Using apple-arrow as your trigger for iTunes will cause all kinds of applications to not work as expected. Lots of applications use this key combination for going from 1 tab to the next (iTerm, textmate, etc).
Just thought I would point that out.
