I am a new ubuntu user and I am looking for an alternative of Executor http://executor.dk/ , a keystroke launcher. I mentioned Launchy as most people know it. I have tried Gnome DO which is very similar to Launchy and it's good but there I still miss Executor.
The major difference between Launchy and Executor is the the emphasis on user defined keywords, which allow users to set keywords for launching any given application.In other words you can create your own commands/keystrokes.
I also don't like Gnome DO indexing all my programs,as I don't use all of them,instead I like to make my keywords/progs/folders paths.
