Keyboard shortcut to open an App

[Trepex]

So from what OSX is telling me, there is no way to assign a keyboard shortcut to open an app, huh? I'd love to have a shortcut key to pop open a terminal window like I can do in linux (gnome). Is there no easy way to accomplish this?

cmd+space

type the first few letters of the app,

cmd+enter




or you could try quicksilver

i would say try quicksilver. its a great app and does a great job. and its has so many capabilities... its insane.

I highly agree, and second this option. Give Quicksilver a chance and change your Mac experience for forever.

Thanks, all! I'll give it a shot 🙂

If all you're interested in is app launching, Quicksilver will probably be overkill for you. You might try Namely, however.
