Spark – One Key App Launching
1 Comment
This will be of no interest to the QuickSilver nerds, but for the rest of us, Spark solves a small annoyance for me. Unless you want to set up hot corners, there’s no quick way to activate the Screen Saver in Mac OS X (and, by extension, lock your computer). Spark lets you assign the launch of an app (or any document) to a specific hot key. Here’s what I did:
- Built a quick “Start Screen Saver” App in Automator (it’s not that scary)
- Use Spark to assign the F6 key to launch the new “Start Screen Saver” app
- Press F6 when I want to lock my screen
- Go get coffee.
Again, keyboard shortcut fiends get giddy.
