If confirmed, this will be China’s second stealth aircraft after the J-20 Mighty Dragon. Veteran F-16 Fighter Pilot Lambasts USAF F-15EX Air Superiority Jets Calls It Obsolete, Outdated & Near ‘Dead End’ After a year of conjecture, photos have begun to surface on social media, hinting at a carrier-capable stealth fighter jet.

It’s a launcher, but an extraordinary one. They’re small enhancements which, at least, save a few keystrokes and at most, could save several clicks and almost eliminate scanning through lists of files and folders. These two seemingly small features are exemplary of what makes LaunchBar special. This could be useful if an app offers multiple services or is document-based, as the document picker takes precedence over services. There’s no need to bring the app itself into the bar first. If it’s something more permanent I might use Yojimbo’s ‘New Note in Yojimbo’ service.īonus Tip: These services are accessible from a cold LaunchBar window.
I often use this to launch Stickies to make a quick note. The bar then turns into a text-input field where you can enter text to be sent to the app. Applications with Servicesįor applications that offer text-based macOS services, pressing the space bar will activate the service. The most likely candidate appears in the bar, whereupon it can be opened by pressing ‘return’. You can type a character or two from the desired file’s name and the list will be narrowed. LaunchBar’s guessing algorithm is still working, though. When searching in this mode, the context is limited to only the items in the list. You can key down to select a file, but it quickly becomes inefficient. In the case of an app like BBEdit, just my recent documents list is huge. If a document-based application is in the bar, pressing the space bar presents a list of files: recently opened followed by any documents which open in that app by default. Rather than pressing ‘return’ to open the app cold, pressing space bar often reveals a way to provide a ‘launch argument’ to the application. Even this can be enhanced with one additional keystroke: space bar. Using LaunchBar as a simple launcher like this is perhaps its most simplistic use. Now when I type mp, MAMP pops into the bar first, rather than Maps. When we don’t agree, I either gently reprimand it a couple times or skip the trouble and just assign the abbreviation manually. LaunchBar’s guess for my organic abbreviation is often spot on – mm is for MailMate, for example. The abbreviations I use are just what feels natural. (In case you’re wondering: bottom of the screen, always visible, one notch up from the smallest size.) I don’t see any reason not to keep them there.Īnything used less frequently is opened using LaunchBar. The majority of the apps I use regularly stay in my Dock. For now, I would like to take a slightly different look at launching applications with LaunchBar. I shall write about all of these in due course.
Whilst I don’t come close to using all of LaunchBar’s features, those I do are invaluable. For a tool that is little more than a thin strip of pixels, if visible at all, it’s implausibly powerful.
#Launchbar jet mac#
I have no trepidation in customising my Mac to my heart’s content. I only use my machine, so rubbish to that. The point being that it allows you to be fully effective no matter what Mac you’re using. The idea is to avoid using tools which enhance or replace behaviours in the operating system. In the past I’ve heard people professing the ‘Default Mac’ approach.
