I found the program launcher
I am using more than a week and I’m very happy with it. No cheap ads, it is really useful. It’s name is Colibri.
Launching programs is not a big deal, but usually takes several mouseclicks and several priceless seconds (I often forget what application I want to start during that).. I’m was launching programs with:
- Start Menu (4 rows of programs)
- On-boot autostart
- Quick-start panel (enhanced by TrueLaunchBar)
- Desktop shortcuts
Huge list. There was no alternative to this mess until Colibri appeared. It is type-ahead launcher.. So you press a hot key (Ctrl-Space by default), and then type the first letters of you application (like Fi for Firefox or Ou for Outlook), it offers choices and you can either expand it into actions by Tab or launch it with Enter. Seems pretty complicated but in real life that rocks.. Get rid of all shortcuts, and just press hot key and type first letters (Colibri gets smarter for “hot” applications - they are offered more often) and Enter. Takes a second - and the most important it doesn’t confuse your mind when offering a choice of all applications (like in Start Menu).
Must-have software. It’s free additionally. Recommended.
If type-ahead works for you, you might like to check out SpeedFiler for Outlook.
SpeedFiler replaces Outlook’s Move to Folder dialog with a highly optimized dialog, which finds matching folders as you type — makes filing almost effortless.
Yes it does. However SpeedFiler is not free, which is (IMO) too much for such a little program. But thank you for a hint.
