Gnome-Do is a lightweight and speedy tiny file and program launcher for the Gnome Desktop environment. Basically, Gnome-Do does for Linux what Launchy does for Windows, and a tiny bit of what Quicksilver does for Mac.
The application works great on Linux, letting you launch any installed application in a matter of nanoseconds. In order to use Gnome-Do, you’ll need to make sure it’s running, either by starting it from your Applications menu or by adding it to your session’s startup programs. Once it’s running, you can pull up your Gnome-Do menu by simultaneously pressing your Windows key and the spacebar. Then just type the name of the program you want to launch.
You can also swiftly open files or folders or even your web browser’s bookmarks. There are also plugins for Rhythmbox, Evolution, and Thunderbird.
