This script allows You to define the global Windows hotkeys via the configuration file.
The syntax of the config file is simple:
Hotkey,Program,Parameters
Here “Hotkey” is the combination of the keyboard key with one of the identifiers:
^ Ctrl
! Alt
+ Shift
# Windows-Key
Example:
;Win+C – start calculator
#{c},calc.exe;Win+Shift+N – start notepad
+#{n},notepad.exe;Win+N – start notepad++ together with apploc.exe
#{n},%windir%\AppPatch\AppLoc.exe,”%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe” -nosession /L0419
