Today Viva Linux reading , I learned that Quicksilver (MacOS another interesting trinket, but we are not interested: D) released his code and a student has created the equivalent for Gnome: gnome-do (this if we want).
to see that I understand is a kind of "simon says" (if not play simon says, is that I very young or very old) but the point is that through the key places you want to launch and implementation Showing you the options within your system.
So if you want to launch amule forget to go to Applications / Internet / amule, amule and listed just write!
I installed it and the result could not be better ...
In The video shows how it works
Now to install. If you use Gutsy is:
write in a console:
sudo gedit / etc / apt / sources.list file
Then add in that file the following:
# gnome-do
deb http://ppa.launchpad .net / rharding / ubuntu gutsy main deb-src
http://ppa.launchpad.net/rharding/ubuntu
gutsy main Save and close
And then in the console:
sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get install gnome-do
And to make it work:
If you have compiz fusion running:
You can follow this post in relevant part (assign combination keyboard).
I assigned the control + space (read more information then I knew it was generally used)
If you have compiz running there is also a possibility, as the guy who made this post has a fault (Gnome-appears Do-logon).
why I stayed with the option of launching it from compiz-fusion
EDIT: RELEASED ONCE, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO CALLING THE APPLICATION IS FASTER PRESSING SUPER + SPACE (SE LAUNCHES FASTER AND IS THE KEY TO COMBINATION COME ON THE APPLICATION BY DEFAULT)
Data.
So far (I have not installed pluggins) I was able to launch:
Applications Documents, Files and Folders
web pages in my Firefox bookmarks (or forget to open firefox and hit the marker to go to the planet such as ubuntu-cl, simply type planet and throws )
