I did try all the others and found out that Butler still is the nicest Launcher. It's silky-smooth and offcourse 'you can't beat the price'. I did have problems with the b21 version.... on rare occasions the abbreviations would take about 3 minutes to appear. After removing all the prefs etc. it worked fine again. I'm just a bit bummed about my shortcuts... I can teach Butler all those shortcuts again. Is there a nice way to make a HTML-file where all the user's shortcuts are on? There is an export HTML but it doesn't show the shortcuts. :) Further.... I like the speed and integration of searchable sites in Launchbar. It's seperate in Butler.... an integration would be super... just like Launchbar. Just type in 'ggl' for google, then press <SPACE> and you'll get a query-field to type what you're looking for. Ah well.... maybe the future 10.4 will open up more possibilities for the Launchers, like searching in Mail etc.

You can use "Save a copy" to save your shortcuts, although not in html format.I have Google on a hotkey. Control-g-->search window... Voila!
