QuickSilver for Linux
Thanks to this blog article I found Katapult, which is basically the same as QuickSilver for Mac OS X, without which I couldn’t live anymore. And since I have my Ubuntu screen placed right beside my Mac’s screen and am using only one mouse and keyboard for both thanks to synergy, I was moving over to the Ubuntu screen and wanted to start an app by hitting APPLE+Space … doh … no way. So finding Katapult just really makes working with Ubuntu easier. Though it is a KDE app Ubunbtu let’s you run it and you don’t even realize that.
Ubuntu is just great.
