| [http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/GNOME_Launch_Box Gnome Launch Box] is a an application launcher. It's very influenced by Quicksilver for Mac OSX. Launch Box is the result of a Hackathon at Imendio during the weekend of 8th-10th of January. Therefore it's buggy but very eyecandy! It's in both Hoary & Breezy Universe. Install it by searching for "Launch Box" in Synaptic or by running: {{{sudo apt-get install gnome-launch-box}}} == Keyboard binding == * Open the {{{Configuration Editor}}} under {{{Applications > System Tools}}}. * Go to {{{/apps/metacity/global_keybindings}}}. * Change the value of a ''run_command'' to a key combination. * Go to {{{/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands}}}. * Change the value of {{{command_X}}} (the one you haven choosen before) to {{{gnome-launch-box}}}. == Usage == * You can start it up with the defined keyboard shortcut, or by pressing {{{Alt+F2}}} and typing {{{gnome-launch-box}}} * You are not supposed to click on anything. * Just type and it will automatically search through your evolution contacts, programs and firefox bookmarks. * Select one and press enter. * With ESC you can exit. == Tips == * Gnome Launch Box disappears after starting an application. * Starting it up again brings it back (it's using the same PID)!
