Apptivate - easy hotkey Optimizer

Observing in passing the work of a stranger in a cafe, carefully eyeing the shortcuts. Sometimes there are talented "pianist" able fingers spread in a totally unimaginable gestures. Those who are deprived of such an unusual talent, help Apptivate utility.

The main task is to make the opening Apptivate constantly used applications fast and intuitive. It is enough to drag the application icon on the menu bar, set the shortcut keys to the mind, and we have the launch of the working tools in just a few seconds. Add to this the ability to bind Apptivate shortcuts to files, folders, Automator scripts, and in my head there are many options for using this utility.

Applications can not only open with the specified shortcuts, but also to conceal and carry it a quick preview.

Folders can be called the first letters: films (Option + F), music (Option + M), sketches (Option + S). No walking on the wire, set unnecessary characters in Spotlight and mouse movements. Only own memory and simple shortcuts.

The most interesting Apptivate little deeper - the so-called sequences (sequences). How it works? Certainly many more than one browser installed. In my case it's Safari, and Chrome. Depending on the situation, I would like to quickly run one or the other of shortcuts Alt + Ctrl + B. After this, combination Apptivate already knows that one of the browsers and expects the S key pressed me to run Safari or C keys to Chrome to be chosen by me. This way you can create more complex chains with a choice.

By Apptivate drawback I would mention the inability to change the order of items in the list (which in general is not critical) and some minimalism Help (Not entirely successful flow of information about opportunities), whereby the first stumbled on this app, I did not spend time on it, and put on the back burner.

For the rest, it's an amazingly powerful tool for optimizing workspace. Sometimes working with him is like some kind of magic. Hotkey here shortcut to, and outstanding tasks is almost gone.
