Launchbar[0] is also still around - not actively developed, but actively maintained. Happy user since 10 years already, even though I own a lifetime Alfred license. [0]: https://obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I've been doing this for >10 years with https://manytricks.com/butler/. Works great! You can also bind snippets of text, scripts, etc. I can't overstate how important it is to have a keyboard that groups function keys into "islands" of (generally) 4 so you can touch-type them. An ergonomics consultant once observed that the source of my neck pain was that I looked at the keyboard while typing. As a touch-typist, I... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
LaunchBar[0], which predates Alfred but is similar in function, also has a fantastic searchable clipboard manager.

I try to limit my multi-tasking though, so I can imagine where full spaces would be useful. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
If OSes were optimized like RTS games, maybe the mouse could be plenty fast. Something like https://charmstone.app/ but for many actions. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Charmstone (Paid) The quicker switcher launcher for macOS, same as Rcmd. Just another choice I guess. Source: over 3 years ago
Not exactly what you are describing: Charmstone. Source: over 3 years ago
Charmstone [1] is a different take from everything mentioned here (I'm the developer). The idea is to use your spatial memory to switch/launch apps faster than anything else that I've found, with a smaller learning curve and less memorization. You can use keyboard shortcuts with the arrow keys, modifier keys + cursor movement, or a trackpad gesture. [1] https://charmstone.app. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
