Cmd+F Launches Finder -- Thanks, Alfred!

One thing I like about Windows is that Start+E launches an Explorer window. I get frustrated when Cmd+Tabbing to a Finder window on Mac OS X, and for some reason I usually have difficulty noticing the Finder icon in the Cmd+Tab popup. I’ve caught myself pressing Cmd+E to get a Finder window, which of course doesn’t work and I just get more frustrated.

I just got the new version of Alfred, and as a Powerpack user I get Global Hotkeys. I just mapped Cmd+F to Finder (/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app), and it launches Finder. Woohoo!
