Launch apps from the Finder without using a mouse
Does anyone know a keyboard shortcut to open the Developer Applications window?
Launch apps from the Finder without using a mouse
There isn't one, but you can get to it using only the keyboard, it just takes a little more work. Cmd-Shift-c opens a Finder window at the top most "computer" level, you can then drill down using the first few letters of your volume name hitting tab (if in column view or cmd-down arrow/cmd-o in list or icon view) to move focus within the folder, etc. It would definitely be nice if Apple would implement a shortcut for the Dev directory if it's installed. Better yet, fix customized keyboard shortcuts so that they can be set to launch apps or open certain folders.
Use "Go To Folder..." and Auto-complete
Not quite a shortcut, but REALLY fast:
Cmd-Shift-G /d[tab]a[tab][enter] It turns out that the "Go To Folder" dialog will auto-complete whatever you type. So "/d" will auto-complete (in a second or so, speeds it up) to "/Developer/" then "a" will finish expanding to "/Developer/Applications/". [Enter] to go to the folder, then type the first chars of the app 'til its highlighted". Amazing, eh? Even better, the next time you use "Go To Folder" it remembers the last folder you navigated to.
