Use the cmd-space keyboard shortcut to launch an application (not change inputs)
« on: Yesterday at 07:54:27 PM »
Good evening gentlemen

I am discovering excellent applications such as:

Smart Launch
https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/smartlaunch-made-realbasic

and

TypeLaunch
https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/typelaunch

These applications bring a much-missed capability from OSX Tiger (or from the launch of Quicksilver, which I remember being first but maybr I’m wrong) onwards: pressing cmd-space, typing an application name, and pressing return to launch that application, whereupon the launcher that was invoked vanishes.

The only problem is, I can’t find any way to use the cmd-space shortcut on Mac OS 9.2.2. It’s totally blocked off for system use, to change keyboard inputs.

I’m itching to take advantage of all that muscle memory on OS9. Anyone know of a way?

Thanks!

Try QuicKeys.
