Safari Steals Another Clipping Key Command
It looks like the new version of Safari, 5.0 has "stolen" a key command sequence from MacGourmet. With the way Services work, if an application uses the same key sequence as a Service, it gets precedence over the one used by the service.
The sequence command-shift-R that was used to import from web sites, is now being used by Safari 5 for the new "Reader" feature. I'm not sure what the sequence MacGourmet uses now will get changed to, but it will have to be changed for a future update to avoid the new conflict. It'd be nice if applications could allow you to configure these things, but last I knew, the only way you could define a Service and its shortcut was to define it when developing a product, so you can't reconfigure Services command keys when the application is being used later.
There is a way around the problem: you can go into the Keyboard section of System Preferences and define your own Safari Application Shortcut (or a more general one) that defines and calls the Services command that it did previously. My thanks to Betsy Ercolini for the tip.
