In Reply to: Keyboard Shortcut to Open an Application in OS X by pswiderski

I too hate using the mouse on my macbook, I added a copy of the apps I use on a regular basis to my desktop and then added a keyboard shortcut under the finder application that pointed to the name of the app exactly as it appears...works pretty good. Sometimes you may have to use command-tab to switch to your finder application first, then you type your shortcut keystroke. Hope this helps, I know the post is old.
