I was under the impression that there was a mouse jesture while track pad
commander was disabled that a blind, or sighted person could do to slide
launchpad into view, but I can't for the life a me remember what it is. does
anyone remember?

Subject: Re: Launchpad
I don't know about worthless. I actually think it might have some cool
potential. It does have a few differences than a standard grid view. Firstly,
in theory, you can drag and drop applications like in iOS. This includes
dropping one application on top of another to form a folder. Many blind people
already know about this from having an iDevice. I'd kind of like a nice home
screen or three with some cool folders. The launchpad also has another
interesting feature: in addition to looking in /Applications (off the root), it
also looks in ~/Applications (off the home directory). I could imagine some
interesting uses for that. But as you've pointed out elsewhere, we have several
quite handy ways to launch applications.

Daniel,
There was a post on this list from someone who said that launchpad
doesn't seem to be a very useful tool for blind folks, and then he detailed
some of his reasons.
