Thank you for this! You have saved my sanity.

About the only thing that Launchpad was useful for was uninstalling apps from the app store. Now you have to go to the App Store app to do that.

What does using full screen apps have to do with anything???? Could you explain that?

Launching an app using Command-space works irrespective of your current application being in full screen or not.

FWIW I do screenshots and screen capture all the time. Command-Shift-3 or -4 or-5

Different ways to work, I get that. Some people still go through all the way to the Edit menu to do a Copy 😎

I might have to sell all my Macs because the only thing I ever did with them is use Launchpad. 🤔

That makes it sound as if you don't have a life.... ;-)

Well, I did have a life clicking on the Launchpad icon, but now I don't know. :o)

I admire your sticktoitiveness. :) I unsubscribed from all "Launchpad" threads long ago.

Or, your mother was mistaken. 🤔

She would have said that was unlikely.
