With this, you can switch to a new window just by clicking on its icon. What it does sounds ordinary enough, but you'd be surprised at just how much it can add to your productivity if you'd only try it. If you make yourself use that method of switching between applications for just five minutes, I guarantee you'll get hooked on it. It makes an even bigger impression when you use it in conjunction with Control Center's virtual desktops, as described elsewhere in this issue. Keyboard Launchpad is valuable not just because it lets you use the keyboard to start and switch to applications, but because it also takes up zero screen estate.
Control center is nice, but it takes up space.
Tab Launchpad is nice, but it tends to take up even more space despite its tabs. Then you forget about it. We found two comparable shareware programs that are similar to the Keyboard Launchpad. One is Keyboard Plus , able to do almost everything Object Desktop can do, but without much task-switching prowess. We were able to make it start programs, but it had trouble switching to anything other than a folder object.
