Install HotService, a Cocoa input manager bundle, and all shortcuts of services are available right after launching Cocoa applications. Up to Mac OS X 10.3.9, you have to pull down the application menu at least once before it's possible to use shortcuts of services. In addition, HotService moves the services menu up to the main menu bar (behind the windows menu) to make it easier to reach the services.

ANONYMOUS I think what he means is that Cocoa Input Managers don't work in Carbon apps. Carbon apps can certainly add hooks for services, as Finder does, though they don't get them automatically. (Version 2.1)
