I was under the impression that there was a mouse jesture while track pad commander was disabled that a blind, or sighted person could do to slide launchpad into view, but I can't for the life a me remember what it is. does anyone remember?

I actually think it might have some cool potential. It does have a few differences than a standard grid view. Firstly, in theory, you can drag and drop applications like in iOS. This includes dropping one application on top of another to form a folder. Many blind people already know about this from having an iDevice. I'd kind of like a nice home screen or three with some cool folders. The launchpad also has another interesting feature: in addition to looking in /Applications (off the root), it also looks in ~/Applications (off the home directory). I could imagine some interesting uses for that. But as you've pointed out elsewhere, we have several quite handy ways to launch applications. - Austin On Jul 21, 2011, at 10:53 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: Yup, It works its just worthless. lol. Its just basically viewing apps in a grid view.
