Run a command from the Launcher

The Launcher runs Sval’s commands as well as opening pages. You type a few letters of what you want to do and pick it from the list.

You’re reading an article in Home and want it in Work instead, without reaching for the mouse.

Steps

1. Press ⌘L (Ctrl+L on Windows and Linux).
2. Type part of the command’s name, like “move” or “new wor”.
3. Under Commands, select the command.

The command runs on the tab you’re on.

Commands that ask you to choose

Some commands need one more choice. Move this tab to… asks for a Workspace, and Split with… asks for a tab.

1. Select Move this tab to….
2. In the list, select the Workspace.

To make a Workspace while you move the tab, type its name, then select New Workspace… at the end of the list.
