I think you need to put a period before that bit of text. Example, .youtube. A further tip on that one, after typing your text, you can press tab, then arrow down to see what apps can open it. For instance if you had 2 browsers. Traci 1 step, 2 step, ... 1,311 steps! I can do the BIG CLIMB 201

Hi all, thought I'd share my initial thoughts on Launch Bar. There is still so much more about the program I haven't explored. First, I'm really enjoying it! Secondly, it isn't fully voFriendly. It is so far quite doable, and I have emailed the developers about accessibility improvements. T
