Tahoe: Launchpad replacement (Use Dock instead of Launchpad)

Tutorials
1

I have had a few recent requests about whether BTT can re-enable launchpad (which is no longer available on Tahoe).

While you could probably replicate it with floating menus to some degree, I want to share how I (and many others) have been accessing my /Applications folder since I started using macOS: Just drag the applications folder to the Dock.

If you do not want to click that Dock icon with the mouse you can use this Apple Script to show it - e.g. via a Keyboard Shortcut:


tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Dock"
		click UI element "Applications" of list 1
	end tell
end tell

To open the folder in Finder, hold cmd while clicking any of the apps.
