Really like this plugin, quickly being able to browse the keychain via QS is great and all, but being able to just type in the login and hit enter to copy in QS is the best!

One concern remaining is security, as there is no quick way to lock the keychain back up from within this plugin. I see it's on your todo though, really looking forward to that.

Cheers,
Ian

I really like the idea of this module (it could compensate for the fact that the Keychain Access application frustratingly has no search functionality at all!).

But it doesn't seem to be indexing all of my keychains. When I look at my keychain in the Keychain Access app, there are a variety of "Kind"s of passwords, including Application Passwords, Web form passwords (I think these are stored by Safari), Internet Passwords (I think these are stored by Safari for actual HTTP authentication passwords), and some others too.

Through browsing with your module, I seem to only have access to "Application Passwords". Plus a few bizarre entries like "Safari Autofill Password". By browsing through "Safari Autofill Password", can I get to the "Web form passwords"? No, I can't. In fact, browsing down through "Safari Autofill Password" entry just takes to a weird listing with entries I don't know what they mean,and right-arrowing on any of them takes me BACK to the list of keychains. Odd. Where are my "Web form passwords" hiding?

And, as far as I can tell, NONE of my entries (not even the "Application Passwords" that do show up) are actually searchable from within QS. If I have an Application Password called "Xjournal", and that entry shows up when browsing Keychain Access, shouldn't that entry show up if I search QuickSilver initially for "Xjournal"? Yet, it does not.

Am I not understanding something? Any advice appreciated. I love the idea of this module, but it doesn't seem to be working the way I expect.
