App Launcher: one shortcut, one letter, and you are in the app
One shortcut, one letter, and you are in the app.
T for Terminal, S for Safari, F for Finder — without reaching for the mouse or the Dock.
Press ⌃⌥⌘# and then a letter. The app opens, or comes to the front if it is already running — with a window, the way a click on its Dock icon does. A small list shows your letters while it waits, and is gone the moment you choose.
Put any app on any letter or digit in Settings › App Launcher: pick the app from the ones installed on your Mac, and the letter is suggested from its name. Change or remove them whenever you like. It starts with T Terminal, S Safari and F Finder.
While it waits, the letters are yours and nothing is typed into the app in front; a letter with no app on it just says so. Escape, or two seconds of silence, and everything is back to normal.
