You can't.  If you have programs you use regularly you can fix them to
the launcher by opening them and right clicking the icon in the
launcher and selecting Keep in Launcher (or something similar).
Alternatively if you know the name of the app you want to run, hit the
Super (windows) key to bring up the dash and start typing the name of
the app.  After three or four characters it should find the one you
want and once it is first in the list you can just hit enter to run
it.  So for example to run the calculator I hit Super then cal and
enter and it is runs.
