Katapult – KDE software

Katapult is a KDE application that provides users with faster and easier access to their applications, bookmarks, and more. It is plugin-based and can launch anything it has a plugin for.

Its plugin-driven appearance is completely customizable. Katapult was inspired by Quicksilver for Mac OS X.

Katapult is launched simply by pressing Alt-Space. This pops up the Katapult launcher, allowing the user to type in the name of the application wanted to launch.

If you prefer the GNOME desktop environment, you may wish to try out Gnome Do.

Features include:

• All applications listed in KMenu.
• Entire Amarok playlist.
• All of you bookmarks (Automatic Mozilla import, or manual import of file).
• Use Katapult as a calculator.
• Use Katapult to see if you are spelling a word correctly.
• Easy access to all of your documents in the home directory.
