I made a script that manages your most used commands/applications using hotkeys.

For example Windows key+N for notepad.

Instructions:

- Run the script (there will only be an AutoIt icon in the system tray)

If you created hotkeys earlier, they will be set now.

- Press CTRL+ALT+C to configure the hotkeys

(the commands will be shown)

- If you add a hotkey, you will be asked whether (? is it spelled right ?) you want to choose a program or enter a command so it will run when the hotkey is pressed.

- Press CTRL+ALT+X to exit the script

The hotkey will be set when you finished creating a hotkey or edit.

And unset when you delete one.

Features:

  • Add hotkeys
  • Edit hotkeys
  • Delete hotkeys
  • Show all hotkeys
I haven't made it 'newbie-proof' yet, but I'm working on it.

If you have any suggestions, requests or problems, please post it here.

Here it is:

Here's one thing you need to be aware of. If a second AutoIt script is launched and it uses a key-combination configured in this hotkey manager, the second script will take over the hotkey and it will no longer work without restarting the hotkey manager (Or at least re-calling HotKeySet()).

But that's the user's responsibility. If someone uses a script that's controlled by hotkeys, that someone would know or (at least notice) that 'something' wouldn't/doesn't work.
