Show and hide apps from the command line
Authored by: pmccann on Apr 01, '04 11:01:16PM

See also "quicksilver" (my current love: hmm, sad, isn't it...)

cmd-space w tab h return

and you're done. (cmd-space activates quicksilver, w selects word (see below), tab activates the "action" palette, "h" selects the "hide" action from the list. No need to remember the name, or use quotes etc etc.

cmd-space w return

and your back (I'm assuming you've "told" quicksilver that "w" should point at Microsoft Word). Command line's nice, but this is *much* nicer. And my hands are on the keyboard at all times. Launchbar will do the same thing of course.
