Kana Launcher Triggers Floating Shortcuts with a Hotkey
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 11:40 PM on April 23, 2008
Windows only: Free menu and icon launcher Kana Launcher won't be a boon to those who've given Launchy or another app-finder a home on their desktop, but it might just fit the bill for those looking to reduce desktop clutter and stop digging through Start menus. Sitting in the system tray, Kana lets you assign the folders, files, and programs you want to access to a floating tray of icons, a collapsible menu list, or all-in-one system tray icons. You can assign multiple programs to a single "Group Launch" list, and set a delay between opening each app to save your memory the strain. Kana Launchers is a free download for Windows systems only.

I still do not understand the big hype around Launchy and similar programs, especially in Vista. Hitting the Windows key and typing your search inquiry literally does the same thing Launchy does, or are there other in-depth reasons as to why I should be using Launchy again?

Myself, I use a self-made application launcher for this: Launch#.
I don't really want to launch a lot of different apps with such a launcher, only those that I use often (like notepad++ for example), so a basic program like Launch# works for me.
