Resolving power button issues in Mac OS X Mavericks

Why use Launchpad or any kind of mouse picking for Applications/Utilities? You already know what you want to launch, and a letter or two typed in to Spotlight will get it.

Alternatively: Alfred - a fantastic app not just for quickly launching apps and furthermore very customizable with user-defined actions.

It's been a long time since I used a mouse to launch an app.

F3 is Mission Control, F4 is Launchpad (and I don't use Launchpad). I thought the op was about switching not launching.

Spotlight is slow and often doesn't find the right things. Quicksilver and Alfred do a much better job.

I haven't found that to be the case for app launching, and I've used Quicksilver and LaunchBar fairly extensively in the past.

Launchpad works great with the keyboard too.
