Use Quicksilver To Toggle AirPlay Sources On Your Mac With A Hotkey

Mac: We love Quicksilver, the great Mac app launcher that does so much more than launching. Thanks to a feature called Triggers, you can turn almost any action or script into a keyboard shortcut. That now includes switching AirPlay sources on the fly.

To toggle AirPlay sources with the press of a few keys, you’ll need the following:

• The Quicksilver App
• The AirPlay for iTunes and AirPlay Menu scripts

Once you have all that, open up Quicksilver and hop into its preferences to create some triggers:

1. Click on the Triggers tab and click the + button on the bottom bar. Choose HotKey.
2. Choose one of the scripts as an item and type Run for the action (although it’ll most likely fill itself in automatically).
3. Save the trigger and assign it a hotkey of your choosing.

Repeat this process for the other script. When you’re done, you can toggle AirPlay sources with a hotkey and even make a script click a menu and choose the source when a video goes full screen and hides the options.
