Under Windows 7 (and I think Windows 8 as well), I can just type [Start][w][o][r][d][Enter] and bring up word. How is this better?

- evandena 15y agoThere are plugins, one for example, so I can type putty[tab]servername. You can also index more locations than your start menu. I index a common shared documentation space, and can easily open files by typing their name.

- justncase80 15y agoI don't know for sure since, like you, this is basically how I open apps. But recently I was told from a friend of mine that you can also enter arguments with launchy. My friend had a link to a website and launchy would let him then enter some text which it would put what he typed into a parameter in the url. For example: http://intranetsite/stores?id={0} http://intranetsite/stores?id={0} then entering "45" in launchy after selecting the url would let him go to the site for store 45.
