What determines the speed of typing? True, not the frequency of pressing the two, and the correct placement and using all ten fingers. How to increase the speed of execution, navigation through folders and opening the desired pages on the Internet? That's right - a program of class "launchers". This type of software is designed to quickly launch applications from the command line or special panels in different parts of the screen. We already told you on the pages of LifeHacker.ru Skylight / AppRocket, Executor and Launchy. Today we will focus on at least the most interesting representatives of this type of program - Promptu 0.8.
According to the program developer, Zach Johnson, the skillful use Promptu becomes your computer center of the universe. At each desired softinu can be installed fast text command to open the required directory is enough to enter the path, and press Enter. Also Promptu without problems open web site or perform the operation for performing the standard Windows command prompt.
Proceed? By default, the operating opening row occurs hotkey Ctrl + Q. Next, we have two versions of events - to enter any letters or use the up / down:
- first option - a list of all commands will appear in the drop-down menu, which will shrink as you type (for user convenience Promptu produces auto-completion). Initially available actions - open the desktop, turn on / off / reboot / send to hibernate the computer, carry out a search on Google and Bing. It is easy to add other commands.
- second option - in the history of pop-up menu will appear on the previously open using Promptu folders on your computer.
Adding a new team assumes the name of the input, the choice of the executable file or the introduction of a directory on your hard drive, and maybe a web service address. Long and tedious to prescribe the path does not have to - select the dropper and put things in it on the window of interest softiny folders - Promptu prescribe the way on their own. Triggered application can be opened in an expanded / collapsed or normal form.
And finally, I note - apparently unprepossessing, not demanding on system resources, yet easy to use and saves precious time, Promptu speed up the daily work with the computer and enhance your productivity.
