Want the full context?
Jump to the original sources
Read the primary article or dive into the live Hacker News thread when you're ready.
With it, I can:
Launch apps, files, or websites instantly
Create workflows (open multiple things with a single hotkey)
Control general system actions (Mic, audioSources, volume, brightness, shutdown, etc.)
A better and more rapid search
Stay fully in keyboard mode without reaching for the mouse
