CommandSpot is a new jailbreak tweak that enhances the Spotlight search functionality on your iDevice.
Once downloaded, this tweak will allow users to type commands into Spotlight, which will then perform actions or launch apps. As RedmondPie outlined, some of CommandSpot's commands include:
This tweak is similar to SBSettings (a tweak that provides a drop down menu with toggles for different settings), but gives the added functionality of launching apps. Personally, I feel like there are much quicker ways to go about doing what CommandSpot offers, but to each his own. CommandSpot is currently free to download from the Modmyi repository on Cydia.
