Subject: Re: Moving item to the desktop
Two comments here.
While I agree that using the dock and/or launchpad and/or keyboard commander
are the best options, some people do put applications on the desktop. But
they don't copy or move the actual applications there; instead they create
an alias of the application. This is done by selecting the application in
finder and doing cmd-l. You will then have two application items showing for
that application in the Applications folder but one says "alias". You then
can copy the alias to the desktop and send the alias still left in
Applications to trash and empty the trash. But you would want to be
extremely careful not to send the actual application to trash by accident.
Again, I see no particular advantage to doing this but i do know that some
people prefer to work from the desktop and therefore put some of their
most-used applications there by this method. When you send the alias to the
trash and then empty the trash, you do not harm the actual application.
Secondly, in addition to using option-m for Mail and option-s for safari
with keyboard commander turned on (I believe it's right option by default
but you can choose either option key when turning this on), you also can
create other shortcuts in keyboard commander for other much-used
applications.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)

I wouldn't bother I would just use the Dock with VO-d or Launchpad with
FN-F4.
