 Select an application and open **Actions ⌘K**. **Open** is the first, default-selected action and uses the same launch path, successful-launch history tracking, dismissal, and error reporting as Return in the application list. Filtering resets selection to the first matching action; an empty result does nothing on Return. Up/Down or Control-K/Control-J navigates actions without changing the selected application.
 
-- **Favorite / Remove Favorite** toggles the selected application's persisted favorite status, updates ranking immediately, and preserves the selection without recording a launch. Open remains the default action. Reset ranking clears usage but does not remove a favorite.
+- **Favorite / Remove Favorite** toggles the selected application's persisted favorite status, updates ranking immediately, and preserves the selection without recording a launch. Favorited results show a filled star immediately to the left of the **Application** label. Open remains the default action. Reset ranking clears usage but does not remove a favorite.
 - **Show in Finder** reveals the selected application bundle and dismisses the launcher without restoring the previous application's focus. Its icon is the native monochrome Finder glyph; macOS versions without that symbol use Finder's application icon.
 - **Reset ranking** clears only the selected bundle's launch count and last-launch timestamp, including persisted history. Results reorder immediately while retaining the selected application; other copies and applications keep their history. Future launches start counting again.
 - **Quit application** sends a normal macOS quit request to running instances of that exact bundle, not another copy with the same name or bundle identifier. A non-running application is a no-op. The launcher dismisses after an accepted request; the application may still present save prompts or cancel quitting. Rejected requests show a native alert. Conjure never force-quits the application.
