Freeware Descriptions:

Launch applications, commands, open files and folders with hotkeys. You can work faster and more efficiently by using your keyboard instead of your mouse.

Here is complete features (taken from authors site):

HotKeyz lets you easily create and maintain a categorized list of your hotkeys. Each hotkey, a key combination on your keyboard, will launch a command. You decide which commands go with which hotkeys. Some of these commands are internal HotKeyz commands and the rest are Windows commands. HotKeyz will help you to manage repetitive tasks on your PC with speed and minimal effort.

The Parameter option gives you parameter control when launching another application like Internet Explorer and surfing to a specific site as parameter. For example “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe” with the parameter “www.skynergy.com”. It also features launching your e-mail window when composing a new e-mail even if your e-mail program is not active or focused.

Define shortcuts for Launching files, Minimizing the current active window, showing HotKeyz itself or hiding it. The HotKeyz system tray icon will change to indicate a key press. The shortcuts work with the WIN, CTRL, ALT, SHIFT modifier keys and most other keyboard keys. You can even enable or disable unwanted Hotkeys without deleting them from the Key List.


What’s New in version 2.7.4.0:

  • HotKeyz will now support all the special keyboard keys like Mute, Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down, Stop etc. Use these keys like any other key on your keyboard alone or with one or more modifier keys. i.e. like Control+Shirt+Mute assigned to a new or existing command.
  • Added a command to swap the mouse buttons.
  • Unhide pick list won’t be shown if there are no items.
  • PickList window will be closed if the popup menu is closed or de-activated.
  • Login pick list. Select the program from a login list and the username and password will be filled in after selecting the program or website. This makes it a bit easier to login to programs or websites than to launch the program and pressing the login hotkey. Sometimes a person is already at the program or website so all you need is a the list of programs to select the login username & password from.
