Thanks to Malatesta for pointing out the existence of this application over at this thread

This distribution has been made specifically for the Q, with a link to the Q's running tasks application and mapping itself onto the camera key, for free for those who don't have AE Buttons Plus.

The Quick Launcher is nice, but how can we launch it from anywhere? A button would be nice.

Sacrifice: Camera Button for Launching
For those who haven't remapped their camera button with something like AE Buttons Plus, there's a free way to do that thanks to a tip by leeosenton over at Qusers. But as you can see, the Launcher has been packaged with a shortcut to the camera so you can still take that picture pretty quickly.

ZapIt: the Killer App (lol)
ZapIt is a very old freeware application, originally for Pocket PC, that still works on our systems because it does something very simple: Kills the active application. Thanks to this launcher, we have a way to call it on top of another app. See the animation, you launch Zapit on top of another application and it kills it. No need to reach for the Task Manager.

Notes:

You can also see there's an 'Edit' button, if you don't like any of the presets, you can change them to your liking.
TIP: The keyboard is enabled so, for example, typing the letter 'i' will highlight Internet Explorer
Do not run ZapIT when on top of the homescreen, you will have to restart the device!! Only hit zapit when on top of an application you want to kill.

Notes2:
If you want the camera key back, uninstall. But if you want to keep the application and retain the camera key, use a registry editor and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Camera \Application and change the value to (without quotes) "pimg.exe -Camerakey"
