Most new Apple keyboards by default access Launchpad via the F4 key.
On Mountain Lion (10.8) the F4 key is preset for Launchpad
Conversely, if you don't use Launchpad but your new Mac has a wasted Launchpad function key (but no Dashboard key), download FunctionFlip. Use it to make the F4 key always F4 (instead of your unused Launchpad button) and assign F4 to Dashboard in the Mission Control pane in System Preferences.
On my iMac with the wireless keyboard, F4 is Dashboard and F5 is Launchpad.

Nice tip. Mac high sierra no manage button for storage. Thanks!
I'll appreciate being able to disable some of those keys, but keep the loudness key functions.
Apple Support Communities are a pain in the ___.
I'm using KeyRemap4MacBook: https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/
Amongst other things, it lets me remap that F4 button on my 2012 MacBook Air, so instead of that button launching LaunchPad (as I never use it,) it goes to Dashboard instead. Much better for me..
My keyboard has a Fn+F4 direct shortcut to launchpad on it?
There's also a bug where the function key (e.g. F4) doesn't work unless Show Launchpad is checked in the keyboard preferences. It doesn't have to be assigned to any other shortcut though.

Launchpad is an application launcher for macOS introduced in Mac OS X Lion. Launchpad is designed to resemble the SpringBoard interface in iOS. The user starts an application by single-clicking its icon. Launchpad provides an alternative way to start applications in macOS, in addition to other options such as the Dock (toolbar launcher), Finder (file manager), Spotlight (desktop search) or Terminal (command-line interface).[1]
Features[edit]
Launchpad is populated with icons corresponding to the applications found in the /Applicationsfolder as well as in the ~/Applications, that is, in a folder named 'Applications' in user's home directory, and in any subfolders within the two above folders.[1] The user can add application icons to Launchpad. The user can also remove an application's icon, but the application itself might not be deleted if it was not originally downloaded from the Mac App Store. Apps can be arranged in named folders much like iOS. The user can then remove apps downloaded from the Mac App Store. In Mac OS X Lion, Launchpad had eight icons per row; this was changed[why?] in OS X Mountain Lion to seven icons per row.[citation needed]However, with proper root permission, by adjusting some settings users can change the number of icon rows and columns in launchpad.[2]
Since Mac OS X Lion, the function key F4 is a keyboard shortcut to Launchpad. If enabled, Apple's gesture recognition software interprets a thumb-and-three-finger pinch on a touchpad as a command to open Launchpad.[citation needed]
The ability to search applications was added in OS X Mountain Lion.[3]
In OS X Mavericks, Launchpad's background became a blurred version of the user's desktop background, and folders departed from the 'linen' texture underlay, replaced with a darker translucent background (part of the move away from skeuomorphism).[4]
As of OS X Yosemite, folders in Launchpad now closely resemble those of iOS; rounded translucent squares with a 3x3 icon grid preview (of the contained applications) when closed, expanding into larger rectangular variants when opened. Furthermore, folders can now be paginated to accommodate more applications.[5]
