An Experiment. Simple. It Launches Applications.
It it is clear in its intentions, so that you can be clear in yours:
There is plenty of space to display the selected application and information about it:
Suggestions to perform alternative actions on the selection are visible if you press and hold the Alt key:
Each action has an Alt+Key accelerator for quick access. Another example is the Open Terminal action on directories.

This is all just an experiment, trying to make a really bare-bones application. Quicksilver-style launchers rule the world, I know, but in this interface experiment we want to focus on just launching applications. Extra / alternative actions are not even visible until you press the Alt key; when you do, the actions will appear in a circle around the selected object.
Also we try to learn something from Lua's Zen path of simplicity. You can extend this program with indexers implemented with any programming language: an indexer for luacher is just a program that when it runs, writes objects in a very simple output format.
