Launchy - Productivity 2.0
If you’re like me, then you grew up in the days of green monochrome screens in the computer lab, 5 1/2″ floppies, and the good old keyboard. While the mouse helped revolutionize computers and multitasking, some of us are just keyboard ninjas. Launchy is just the sort of program to keep your HIYA’s up to snuff.
Basically, once you install it, you activate it using hotkeys. By default, the combination is “Alt Space”. It loads a little window at the bottom, and you start typing away. Since Launchy indexes your Start Menu by default (and any other directory and/or filetype you tell it to monitor), all it takes is a few strokes and your program is automatically selected. No more navigating through menu after menu looking for an app.
While it might not be of use to everyone, for me, its an office hack that I can’t live without.
