A quick non-Flex related post about some great tools.

Recently, I’ve found myself using Mac OS, Linux, and Windows all fairly frequently. I switched to Mac OS as my development OS not long ago. QuickSilver was recommended to me not long after I made the switch. I found QuickSilver to be one of the huge benefits of Mac OS.

Back in the Windows days I was a big user [Windows Key]+R to launch apps and commands quickly. After I was introduced to QuickSilver on Mac OS I did some checking to see if equivalent applications existed for other platforms. I found Colibri for windows and Katapult for Linux (KDE).

All three of these applications are invaluable to making your life easier in finding files and applications on your systems. Give them a try and you’ll quickly find out why.

Mac OS: Quicksilver
Windows: Colibri
Linux: Katapult
