10.5: Build your own keyboard-based app launcher
Authored by: hamarkus on Apr 29, '08 01:35:17PM

Spotlight certainly does a good enough job. I however use Sapiens instead. It is activated by drawing a circle with the mouse. I find that easier to access than Spotlight (there is also an hot Expose corner up there and the clock which I hit sometimes instead of the Spotlight) and as a bonus point I don't have to move my eyes to the top right corner.

Sapiens, as other launchers, only searches applications (in folders you define). By default it shows you the icons of the most recent/most often used apps to pick from, or you can type the name. While you type the icons of current match are shown.
