Mac Recipe: Make Acutal Phone Calls via Quicksilver!
I don’t know what brough me to this impromptu exploration of Quicksilver. I am pretty sure many people out there would know about this trick, but I have never read it anywhere else. (Maybe I have but then I forgot.) So I figure I could share it to all of you!
Ingredients needed:
- First, make sure you have get all the ingredients listed above.
- Then, make sure your Quicksilver has Phone module & Bluetooth module installed. If unsure, check preference > Plug-in > All Plug-in. Make sure the two boxes of Phone module & Bluetooth module are checked.
- Turn on the bluetooth connection of your mobile phone!
- Trigger your quicksilver (e.g. mine is double-option)
- Type a contact’s name that you have got an actual phone number in the address book.
- Press than right arrow on the keyboard – and QS should let you browse the contact details of that contact.
- After you chose the number of that contact you want to dial, click tab.
- Scroll until you’ve select Dial with in the middle box as illustrated above.
- QS should prompt you with the third box – choose Bluetooth and click return!
- Oh your phone is dialing now!!!
NB. I just realise the steps are soooo clumsy, I should do a screencast tomorrow – hold tight!
Looks very cool. I couldn’t however find those plugins on Quicksilver. Any idea on where to find them ?
Thanks.
