Based on a combination of Safari, Applescript, Pukka, and Quicksilver, several mac power-users have found acceptable solutions for posting to del.icio.us from Safari. However, I have a slightly different workflow for del.icio.us than Splee, so I customized it a bit. I have a few requirements for an acceptable del.icio.us workflow:

• Immediate access to tag entry with autocomplete.
• Immediately successive chance to fill in a description. I have found that forcing myself to type descriptions of every bookmark has assisted dramatically in finding relevant links quickly in the future.

With the workflow described below, I can hit CMD-D in Safari, immediately start typing my tags (assisted by autocomplete), tab to the description, type my blurb, and hit CMD-enter to post. Smooth as silk for my needs.

First, create the following script ("Pukka Post to Delicious.scpt" for me) in a location that Quicksilver will index (I use a directory named "Scripts" in my user's "Documents" directory): set account to "myaccount"

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Pukka"
        keystroke "n" using {command down}
        delay 0.1
        tell application "Pukka" to activate
    end tell
end tell

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Pukka"
        tell application "Pukka" to activate
        keystroke tab
        keystroke tab
    end tell
end tell

end tell

Second, create a trigger in quicksilver that simplies calls this script directly, set the trigger to CMD-D, and set the scope to Safari.

Third, have Pukka running all the time, and strongly consider registering it.

This setup is the first one I've found that rivals the standard del.icio.us Firefox extension for convenience and features. I preserved the logic from Splee's script that fills in the selected text (with referrer info) if you have actually selected text, but lets you fill in your own description if you have not selected text.
