Quicksilver plugin for Yojimbo updated: Appending text
Monday, December 4th, 2006
The Quicksilver 
plugin for Yojimbo was updated today.
In the absence of any release notes, one can only guess what might have changed. Having to guess like this is part of Quicksilver’s charm generally, so here goes…
It introduced something which is either new or at least new to me: an “Append Text (makes plaintext)” option specific to Yojimbo rather than the generic Text Manipulations action.
This allows you to select an item in Yojimbo and append some plain text to it, for example quickly to add to a list of books that I need to borrow when next at the library:
Obviously, this especially nice for people who use Yojimbo as a hub for “Getting Things Done” (GTD) or for managing a series of plain text to-do lists.
If this feature has been there all the time and I just haven’t seen it, someone will no doubt let me know.
UPDATE: As some readers have noted in the comments, I should have mentioned that you will need to turn the action on in Quicksilver’s preferences. Go to Preferences > Actions and search for “text”. Then check the box to the left of the action in the list. Then refresh. Then enjoy:
