"As a longtime Linux user, I've grown accustomed to keyboard launchers that enable me to not only open apps, but also search for and open files, and do all sorts of other things. When I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Tahoe, I was excited to try the newly revamped Spotlight, which would now serve as a keyboard launcher like those I've used on Linux."
"Also: MacOS Tahoe finally turned me into a desktop widget user - here's why Out of the box, however, you might find the new Spotlight to be missing a few features. Those features are added by way of Actions. Spotlight can take actions based on specific keywords. For example, via Spotlight, you can now easily add events to your calendar, but before you can start doing that, you have to add the Calendar Events action."
Spotlight in macOS Tahoe gains Actions that turn it into a versatile keyboard launcher, enabling direct tasks beyond app launching. Actions must be added before use and can be triggered by specific keywords. Available actions include create note, send email, add alarm, start stopwatch, call via FaceTime, and connect to servers; many installed apps also provide their own actions. The Actions list can become extensive, allowing users to add as many actions as needed. Adding an action requires macOS Tahoe. Using an action depends on its type; for example, an email action will open compose fields and send a message when invoked.
