I simply resort to using OS X Spotlight with the same keyboard shortcut. Oh, and the funny thing about it is that I don't feel crippled when I have to work on a Mac without LaunchBar. The whole thing flows so naturally for me that I often forget that it's there. Snippets are simply a bunch of text files in a folder, so there is no vendor lock-in, and editing and updating my snippets are very straight-forward because of that. I use it for launching apps, maintaining a large number of snippets for coding, run word, and character count instantly, access all my contact instantly, move things around, find folders, and so on. And I love how it's minimalist on the surface but provides an infinite number of functionalities that genuinely save time and remove workflow friction. I love that it adjusts to my habit, not the other way around like most other apps. I love how it requires almost no maintenance hassle. I like that it is just a stand-alone, standard Mac app that doesn't tweak the system unnecessarily. I tend to steer clear of "system enhancement" utilities for many reasons, but I consider this one an excellent exception to the rule. It is one of the most essential third-party utilities on my Mac. I've been using LaunchBar since around 2002, way before Apple came up with Spotlight search. Running High Sierra (10.13.3), LaunchBar 6.9.4 here. Corrected text color in Usage window (some labels became invisible in Dark Mode due to their white text color).Fixed: Thin grid lines in the search result list were not properly updated on selection changes.Fixed: Some icons were drawn with a shadow heading in the wrong direction.The "Mobile Phone" icon was too large in a pop-up menu of the Preferences window.Fixed: After invoking the "Clear Clipboard History" or "Clear Recent Items" actions, Instant Send was wrongly offered.Corrected capitalization of some Emoji names.Fixed: The color of Finder tags was no longer shown on macOS Monterey.The "Skip Subfolders" indexing option is now properly considered for file packages when the „Search file package contents" option is turned on.The „Add Indexing Rule" button has been moved to the bottom of the sidebar of the index window. Script based custom actions that are selected in LaunchBar can now be opened in Action Editor using the new "Show in Action Editor" command from the context menu or by pressing Command-Return.Excluded duplicate Siri.app entry in applications index.
Improved algorithm for determining plural forms used in category names.Improved item list drawing performance.Improved DuckDuckGo action for better compatibility with macOS Monterey.The Quick Look preview panel is now closed automatically when pressing Tab to invoke Send-to.For example, when you type EM to select the Emoji indexing rule and keep the M key pressed to trigger Instant Open, you now immediately get to the list of all Emoji symbols. Improved Instant Open behavior of indexing rules.The text cursor shown during text input is now more pronounced for better visibility.Refined appearance of many UI elements.Most categories now have dedicated icons instead of the generic cardboard box symbol.Dozens of newly designed or refined icons, meticulously fine tuned to be pixel aligned for a super crisp look.The overall appearance has been improved and modernized in many areas of the application.Added a new "iOS Applications" category containing all iOS apps that can be run natively on Apple Silicon Macs.When the Safari History indexing rule is selected in LaunchBar, pressing Command-Return now invokes the new "Show History in Safari" action, which opens the History page in Safari.Added „Giphy GIFs" search template to search for GIFs on.If a shortcut requires text input, this text can be entered after pressing the Space bar or via Send-to. Those shortcuts are indexed automatically and can be conveniently invoked from LaunchBar. Added support for shortcuts defined in the Shortcuts.app of macOS Monterey.
