Ok, [cmd]+[space] (by default) opens the spotlight search field. But [opt]+[cmd]+[space] will go beyond that and open up a Spotlight Window listing all the contents of your mac listed in by the time they were last opened. This list includes Applications, files, safari history, and more. This shortcut it listed under the Spotlight section of Keyboard Shortcuts tab in the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences pane as “Show Spotlight Window” so it can be remapped. It sort of makes the whole “Recent Items” item the Apple menu seem somewhat inadequate.
