User Reviews
Excellent way to clear the desktop and simplify opening any app or document.
The program reports that alt + space is busy. If you do not pay attention to this message, the program is perfectly called by this combination. For some reason, two input fields appear.
Простой без русского языка. Некоторые плагины на сайте не работают.(скачать нельзя). Msconfig не ищет не работает
Awesome! And it works properly when running via ssh -X
Excellent product, (why the 2 low ratings)? I have just installed launchy on my fourth computer. All I had to do was download, install, allow to start, then touch the settings and request a scan. The whole process following the downloading was completed in under 2 minutes. I tried it to launch a couple of programs, and it did this flawlessly. This has been one of the first programs I install on new computers. Much faster than locating icons on my desktop (particularly since they have a habit of moving around when new shortcuts are added). Most of my programs are displayed after entering only two or three characters of the name. They don't even need to be for the first word of the name, eg I can enter mo for Mozilla or fi for Firefox: either way my Firefox will be launched. Read more reviews >
