For Windows, Autohotkey.

I've installed it but never actually used it. I find, launchy does pretty much everything I need.
I just wanted to use it to replace alt+space with sys key but it was too much of a hassle.

>>52489676
Can Launchy send automated keystrokes to specific applications though?
>>
>>52489708
kinda can, but AHK would be better at it, the point is, learning how to extend thoses programs is tedious for little time gain imo.
I can understand why people use it but for me it crosses the line of "more time spend developping a way to save time"
>>
>>52489864
Most of the important scripts already have at least templates ready on the AHK boards, you just need to copy/paste them and adjust accordingly.
AHK is the one reason I didn't switch to Ganoo Loonix yet. Making Loonix shortcuts is a pain in the ass more often than not.
