I have [command-esc] set as a trigger to open QS with the whatever I have selected. So if I am reading something I think my wife would like to read. I click the url bar (to select the url), click command-esc which opens QS with the url already plugged in. I tab to get to the next box in QS, type "e" which brings up "compose email to", I hit tab again to get to the third box and start typing the persons name. when it comes up, I hit enter and I get an email with the recipient and url already entered. This is just a nice way to quickly send someone a link; and it is darned fast too. You can also set this up with QuickSilver.

I'm a long time PC user who just returned to the world of Macintosh. I'd forgotten how much I love the Mac OS and its nice to be home again... but there are things I've learned to do in Windows that I'm surprised has no equivalent in the Mac. I always chided PC people about there not being a shortcut to create a new folder in windows, or to simply close a window "ctrl-w" instead of "alt-f4". what a pain in the butt that f4 key is. But there are things in the mac that I miss. Show desktop "windows-d" is one I miss horribly and adding a url link is an oversight I'm a bit surprised by in the mac. Thanks for this wonderful Tip!

I've looked through the settings, found the photo browser and the "show stationery" link but no Mail Tags. Thanks for your help.
