While this looks cool, I learned over time that basic Windows shell works just fine for productivity purposes: https://i.imgur.com/HC4evaK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/HC4evaK.jpg, and this would just add another layer on top which potentially requires maintenance, troubleshooting or debugging.
The only additional customization I have is a little utility I wrote in C++ that runs in background and provides hotkeys to launch Chrome, Sublime Text, Total Commander and Cmder via Win+1, Win+2, etc hotkeys.
And to run any other program, it is enough to hit Win key and start typing that programs name.

- rsrx 7y agoI prefer to use keyboard instead mouse.
- hb0ss 7y agoBut if you pin them on the taskbar you can launch them with win + x in the order you have pinned them. I’m assuming that’s why the other person asked.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoWell TIL, thanks.
- rsrx 7y agoI didn't know this was possible, thanks!
- com2kid 7y agoshift-win-# opens a new instance/window of an app that is already open, and alt-win-# closes that app (which can be sorta weird with multiple windows of an app open.)
- Mirioron 7y agoAnd if the application is already running you can use the hotkey to bring that window into focus.
- tyingq 7y agoAutohotkey is pretty cool. Aside from "hotkey" functionality, it also has a scripting language, and a way to make small GUI apps. https://www.autohotkey.com/ https://www.autohotkey.com/
