This is a difficult but not impossible, you just need to have the right tools. Clearly this is an extreme case, but many people prefer using the keyboard over the mouse more or less, and Find and Run Robot (FARR) is an application of great help in these cases! Anyone who has used the Spotlight system-wide desktop search feature of Mac OS X knows how much it is useful and how much easier to use the computer with it. And that is what makes the Find and Run Robot an application so useful, since it closely resembles the search feature of Apple. It is very fast comparing with Windows’ default search engines, which makes it quick and effective search for what you want through the FARR. One of the biggest advantages over the Windows’ native system search is that it can search files via file name as well as search keywords inside text files. Moreover, the list is refined so that you always find relevant results to what you want to open. Although very responsive and helpful, FARR still has some points that could make the tool even better. One is that the results are arranged without any classification by type. In Apple's Spotlight, list shows programs, files, and modification time etc., but the FARR entries found are arranged freely and unsortable. More to read.

With it you can find any program or file on your computer and open it without using the mouse, all via keyboard shortcuts.

To access the Find and Run Robot you need to configure a keyboard shortcut that is easy to memorize. Right click on the system tray icon of Find and Run Robot and click on Options.
