I can't wait to try this! Getting rid of that damn dock will be the best part of OS X -- actually, it's pretty nice but for not staking out it's own screen space. If it were static, immobile, and not part of the user screen space (i.e., Apps COULDN'T cover or go below it), I'd keep it!

Looks like I'll see how well I like drag-thingie.

LaunchBar
Authored by: kerim on Jan 17, '02 07:23:03PM

I recently discovered LaunchBar which is a wonderful enhancement utility. It is actually an application, so it doesn't require hacking or patching anything. It remembers your favorite shortcuts for applications and will launch them with simply the stroke of a key. For instance, if I hit command-tab (which is what I've set to the keystroke to access LaunchBar) it will pop up its menu, then if I hit "E" it will launch Entourage, or "F" will lauch the finder. This is much better than having to scroll through all the applications to find the one you want. It also does e-mail addresses, URLs, and files . . . It also adds a much needed "hide other apps" command key.

LaunchBar can be found here:
