the new version of Launchy which just came out is written in QT, so it’s cross-platform. They’re working on porting it to Linux right now–I’d guess it’ll be out early 2008.

Yes, I understand. I actually use Launchy whenever I have to work with Windows and I’m glad to see a Linux solution.

Yes, you are right.

But with Katapult you don’t have to set up aliases beforehand. :P

It also has a built in calculator.

I would use this except I always have an xterm open somewhere on my screen.
