There's no need to do that. Just hit the Logo key, type the first few letters of an application name and press enter. I do this in about 800ms, frequently, for both Terminal and Calculator. If the app is already running, it's brought to the foreground; if it isn't, it's launched.

I tried GNOME Shell back in November (was a KDE user, have since migrated to using XMonad). Is there any way to unbind the Logo key so it can be used in global shortcuts without doing anything when a shortcut isn't completed?
