I was introduced to a neat little utility today called Launchy. It’s particularly useful if you, like me, have far too many applications installed on your computer and can never find “that handy tool” when you need it!
What it does is it builds an index of your installed applications and lets you get to them using a short-cut keystroke (ALT-Space by default) then typing the first few letters of the application name. It doesn’t help in those all too common instances when you’re thinking “now what was that great app called…..”
Take a look for yourself at http://www.launchy.net/.

I thought Launchy was great until I found Keybreeze. It has a lot more features and settings. You should check it out.
Timothy,
Thanks for posting!
I had a look at Keybreeze. It looks good, but it I can’t see anything that it can do that Launchy can’t do (assuming Launchy has all the plug-ins installed).
Am I missing something or is it really just another take on the same theme?
Regards,
