He does cover this briefly: "Is it up to an app launcher such as Spotlight or Alfred?"

I'd be curious as to why he finds the F keys faster. Perhaps not having to wait for the bar to appear, not having to "context switch" by thinking about the app's name and not having to type anything.

He talks about how one key is his music software for example, so by simply remembering F6 it skips having to even know what the app's name is and having to potentialy pick the second of third choice of a list. "[alt space] spotif... oh damn, no [backspace] it's itun... wait no I just switched to Tidal... [backspace] So [T] [enter] oops, I just opened the Terminal..."

Simply because it's a single key press, even no modifier is needed. So, yeah, it's faster and less thinking.

How do you deal with the loss of F-key functionality by applications that use it?

And I respect that. But, krunner and rofi is instant for me. I guess I don't really switch between apps that much for this context switching to be a problem.
