Many of the options are only useful for developers, hence the Debug label, but there are a fair amount of tweaks that are potentially useful to the average user as well, particularly these three: Open iCal again to find the “Debug” menu.Quit out of iCal and then launch the Terminalĭefaults write IncludeDebugMenu 1.Select the file, press Tab, select the contact (or one of its email addresses) and press Return. Sending file attachments via emailįiles can be conveniently sent as an email attachment to a particular contact. You can then use Command-Return to open the selected contact card in Contacts.app. If you wish to open a contact’s first detail by default when pressing Return, go to the Actions pane of LaunchBar preferences and set the Default Action for opening contacts to 'Open First Contact Detail'. If no email address has been set for this contact, its phone number will be opened and so forth. You just have to select the corresponding contact item and press Shift-Return in order to create a new email message. To gain direct access to a person’s email address (without having to browse its details first) it’s therefore not necessarily required to enable the “Direct Access > Email Addresses” option. Opening a contact item with Shift-Return opens the first of its details (either its preferred email address, phone number, screen name, postal address, etc.).

Press Return to open a new message window with this message. Select the “New Mail Message” script, then press Space to start typing a short message.If you are using Entourage, use the “New Entourage Mail Message” script instead.

In Entourage it’s defined using the “Make Default” command. In the OS X Contacts.app the preferred email address is determined by the order of email addresses - the first address is considered to be preferred. When LaunchBar indexes your contacts it considers a contact’s preferred email address. LaunchBar automatically collects personal and company contacts in separate categories, so you can quickly search for a company or person by sub-searching the corresponding category. LaunchBar distinguishes between Personal Contacts, representing individual persons, and Company Contacts which represent companies.Ī Company Contact can be specified in Contacts.app either by selecting the contact’s “Company” checkbox or by choosing “Card > This is a Company” from the menu.

You may also search for a particular company by sub-searching the Companies category, then press right arrow to retrieve all people working for that company. You need a plumber? Just enter PLUM to select the Plumbers category, then hit the right arrow key to display a list of all plumbers contained in your contacts. These categories are directly accessible via abbreviation search. LaunchBar automatically groups people working for the same company or people with the same profession.

The “Company” and “Job Title” categories allow you to quickly retrieve groups of similar contacts. Searching for contacts by company name or job title search for Robert “Bobby” Miller by entering ROMI as well as BOMI. LaunchBar places the nickname between first and last name, so you can e.g. If you’ve specified a person’s nickname in your contacts, you can search for this nickname as well.
