I assume I could kill the Dock preferences and get the default... and then add
back all my icons... but seems more work than it is worth just to have it.

A little disappointed that there does not seem to be a good answer to this. Not important enough for me to wipe out my Dock settings...

OK, even easier for a laptop -- four finger pinch. Still works.

This is all pretty much academic. I rarely used Launch Pad and only sometimes will use this. My dock is pretty crowded (I am OK with that, and use the
hidden "spacers" feature to help group things). When I do use Spotlight to
open an app I mostly just type the name in the main section. I also have my Applications folder on my dock, AND a folder of some apps I do not use THAT often but often forget their names when I do want them so I set up shortcuts. --
