Tips: LaunchBar

@cfriend

started using LB in the last ~week

Well done

@cfriend

The instant send is a killer feature and has replaced all of my "Open with X App" KM macros.

It’s not only for opening docs with a specified app. The Instant Send is really a core part of most things you can do with LB.

@cfriend

are there any killer features I might be missing out on?

Probably Yes. It depends of if you have skimmed through the LB Help

In case you didn’t, this is another, not so obvious, example of an killer feature, for me. But, just go through the LB Help to discover a shitload of useful things.

However, the most “killer feature” for me is LB’s Abbreviations, as I tried to describe here and there: It may take some time until you realize how useful LB’s abbreviations really are (as opposed to “traditional” hotkeys). But once you’ve got it, you’ll have a complete new universe (aka namespace) of how to launch your scripts, actions, docs, apps, snippets, etc. – Coexisting with your established hotkey triggers from whatever app, of course.
