Gnome-do: Open Source Software App Launcher

“This week, I’ve been experimenting with gnome-do, the Gnome
application launcher that also allows you to specify particular
actions to take on whatever file or application you’ve found. Very
much like Quicksilver on the Mac, for anyone who’s familiar with
that.

“Once installed and started up, you can hit Windows-Space to
summon the app launcher (this is configurable). Start typing, and
gnome-do will start searching through various places for something
that matches what’s typed. You can scroll through match options
with the arrow keys, or hit ESC to cancel.”
