This amazing new discovery of mine was enough to have me bring this blog back from the dead:
Enso Launcher is designed to give you instant access to your applications and windows. With a few easily remembered keystrokes, you can launch an application, switch to a window by name, and control the state of your windows.
Click-hold caps lock and type open <command>. It understands a bunch of commands right off and you can “teach” it new ones. It has a free trial of 30 days and you can buy it for $19. Well worth it imho.
