Shortcut to open Terminal App?

[Whitelightning]

How do you create a shortcut, like press "~" on the keyboard or Command+ someting to open a terminl window?

System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts

Or, you could simply put Terminal on the Dock. One click... open!

You can't assign a shortcut to open an app through System Preferences.

OP have a look at Visor.

You're absolutely correct. I was thinking of Quicksilver and launching via scripts. To me, the Dock is a more elegant and simple solution.

I use Visor, and it works perfectly. I just have Terminal auto-launch at login, and it hides itself away automatically, ready for me to hit my ^~ shortcut and fire away.
