What is Launcher?
Launcher is an application that speeds up the way you work on your Mac. It provides a fast and easy way to launch applications, navigate through your folders and files, search the web, execute shell commands, and perform simple and complex calculations. It also offers actions for search results.
1. All you need is to choose your favourite among the dozens of search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, eBay, Youtube, and Wikipedia and assign them to short or even one-letter commands, for example, "g" - for Google, "e" - for eBay, "w" - for Wikipedia.
2. The next time you need information enter the command and the search query with a space and Launcher will open your default browser with search results.
3. Launcher contains a built-in multi-precision calculator that allows you to perform simple and complex calculations.
4. Just assign a shell command, for example, “/usr/bin/say $” to a word of command like “say”.
5. You can simply start typing the application name in the search string and you’ll immediately get the list of apps displayed in alphabetical order.
6. After that Launcher will pronounce anything you enter in query after alias “say”.
7. Launcher will help you to simplify most common everyday actions like Mute, Play/Pause, Restart, Shutdown and others.
8. Simply send queries to search engines right from the Launcher.
9. Start query with / or ~ to browse your Mac, and pick files/folders to open, preview in QuickLook, and reveal in Finder.
10. For example, “e apples” will lead you to an eBay page with the results for “apples”.
11. You can use abbreviations, for example, “qtp” for QuickTime Player, “ab” for the Address Book, “rml” for Remind Me Later.
