SlickRun is an awesome floating command-line utility that gives you almost instant access to any application or website. At least that’s what the developer’s website claims, and I have to agree. The beauty of SlickRun is realized once you’ve begun to add your own Magic Words. For example, I created a wiki magic word where all I need to do is type wiki and a topic and press enter. Next thing you know Firefox loads (or a new tab opens) a Wikipedia page about the topic.
I know the source isn’t available, but it’s still free (as in beer, not speech). You can download it here. It’s definitely a useful utility.
