That's possible in GNOME 3, in GNOME 2 you needed at least two clicks or three + n keypressed. In GNOME3, you need one click for favourites, two for others, and zero clicks and 1 + n keypresses if you want keyboard only.

What?

In GNOME 2 I can put as many launchers in my panel as I like. And I don't need to wait for some stupid overlay to animate onto the screen.

And keyboard shortcuts exist in GNOME 2, so don't pretend GNOME 3 is a win there.

Yeah, I forgot those, I didn't really use those.

Wait? It's there almost immediately, basically as soon as the key is released.

Same in GNOME 3.
