It’s hard to keep all those shortcuts in your head, so a single page that sets them all out by category is a great tool:

thunderbirdcheatsheet

You can view it as a web page or download the PDF.

At the moment, the four boxes on the left merely jump you to the relevant section of the Preferences, although (I am guessing) in time they will offer specific help files for each option.

The other links offer some good stuff though:

quicksilverdocumentation

The Documentation link takes you to further sections on Tips and Tricks, a FAQ, tutorials, an overview and more. There is also an Application and plugins reference, offering easy access to the documentation on the Quicksilver site.

I can’t find a link in the new feature to Howard Melman’s user manual, but hopefully that will also appear in the future.

Howard Melman has begun writing a user manual. It’s a work in progress, but it already contains a general introduction to the concepts behind Quicksilver and a guide to installation and basic use.

Further sections on how to use QS with iChat and text and email and much more follow. Frequent screenshots add value to the written instructions.

Howard has also produced a “cheatsheet” or Quick Reference for Quicksilver, which squeezes most of the commonly-used actions onto one page (sample below):

QSquickreference

You can get the user manual and/or the cheatsheet in PDF form from Howard’s web site. Thanks yous can be given, and further suggestions made, to Howard in the Quicksilver forum thread .
