![]() ![]() Following the Links in This Book All blue text in this book is hot, meaning you can click (or tap) it, just like a link on the Web. I touch lightly on this concept in The Secret Sauce: The Adaptive Abbreviation Search Algorithm and look at it more fully in Control the Index. Index: LaunchBar knows a great deal about what’s stored on your Mac because it creates its own index of these items.I explain this important aspect of LaunchBar in Invoke LaunchBar. The bar is where you work with LaunchBar. Invoke: Once LaunchBar is launched on your computer, in order to display its bar-the small window that displays on your screen- you invoke it with a keyboard shortcut.You don’t need to type capitals, though LaunchBar doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase. In order to show that they are letters you type, I put them in capital letters, such as SAF, which you might type to launch Safari. Typing in LaunchBar: I give many examples of letters you type to search in LaunchBar.I use it in place of saying “press the right-arrow key” or “press the down-arrow key,” saying instead, “arrow right,” or “arrow down.” The text is more elegant this way, I think. Arrow: I often use the word “arrow” as a verb.Basics If you need basic directions in order to understand what I mean when I talk about working with menus, copying, paths-or any other Mac 101 type topic-please read Read Me First: A Take Control Crash Course, available for free on the Web or in PDF, EPUB, or Mobipocket format.
