Q: I miniaturized the app and want Launchy to bring it back - why does it not work?
A: Since the app is published on the Mac App Store, it should follow certain rules. One of those - the app has to be Sandboxed. Which limits its functionality. So until the app is in the Mac App Store, this won't work.
Q: Would be cool to close the highlighted app
A: I agree. But Apple does not allow that:
Sandboxed applications can’t use this method to terminate other applications. This method returns false when called from a sandboxed application.
Q: Some keys (B, N, M, [, ]) are not working when the trigger shortcut is set to Left CMD + Right CMD.
A: Unfortunately, this is a hardware limitation. Check the discussion here
Q: I did something, and now I don't see the menu bar app icon, and I don't know how to open the preferences window.
A: Most probably, you have toggled the "Hide menu bar icon" option, and now it's not in the menu bar. However, you can still open the app preferences. Press the shortcut to bring the Launchy wheel to the screen and then press "comma" (,) on the keyboard. This will always open the preferences window regardless of the "Hide menu bar icon" toggle state.
Q: I toggled "Hide menu bar icon" option off and also forgot the shortcut I've been using to bring Launchy wheel to the screen. How can I reset the app?
A: To fully reset the app follow these steps:
- open the Activity Minotor app, find Launchy and kill it
- open the Terminal app and put the following command
defaults delete com.heavylightapps.Launchy, press Enter - start the Launchy app again. It should be completely reset now
