10.5: Build your own keyboard-based app launcher

This is a great tip, however, an app by the name of "Namely" is available for free that runs in the background as a minimal system process! My keyboard shortcut for the app is (SHIFT + APPLE + X). When activated, a small "spotlight" like search bar appears on the desktop which allows you to search/run a specific app!! Very helpful for the fast keyboard surfer!!!
