This is a free adaptation of Slickrun written in .NET and with features inspired by Wox
Make a list of shortcuts, configure them and earn a lot of time by just typing the shortcut and press ENTER
To display the window, by default, the shortcut is ctrl alt space
ctrl alt
has the same behaviour as AltGr
When you've used the shortcut, a window appears.
- In the searchbox (point 1), enter the keyword you want to execute
- You'll see as you type the results that correspond to what you're typing (point 2)
- You can type
ENTER
to execute the first element of the list - OR you can click on the element you want to execute
command
[space]parameters
For instance, I've configured a google search as follow ? my_search
. In other words, if I want to search 'aeroplane' in google, I write ? aeroplane
.
Here's how the command is configured
keyword | file name |
---|---|
? | https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=\$W\$ |
the use of
$W$ \ is defined HERE
This command line is divided as follow:
item | value |
---|---|
? | Command |
aeroplane | Parameters |
There are two ways to create a new shortcut
- Type
setup
- Go to the tab
keywords
Type Add <the_keyword_you_want>
, a window appear:
- Type the name of the shortcut you want to configure.
You can set as many keywords as you want
- Set the path of the shortcut.
The path can be:
- the path of an executable
- a path to a directory
- an URL
- As a convenience you can use the cross to infer the executable.
Drag and drop the cross on a window and Lanceur will infer the path of the executable
- Add the argument that will be used when launching the executable
RunAs
can be:Admin
: launch the application with administration privilegesCurrentUser
: launch the application with the privilege of the current user
StartMode
can be:Default
: keep default configuration of the appMaximized
: start in fullscreenMinimized
: start minimised in the taskbar
- The working directory is the path that will be specified to the program as the working directory when starting it.
- Some notes user can add to the shortcut.
