Perfect Hotkey 1.32 was available as a giveaway on September 15, 2015!
Perfect Hotkey will help to create and maintain a list of your hotkeys easily. You can customize hotkey categories and set which command goes with each hotkey. Some of them are internal Perfect Hotkey commands and the rest are Windows commands. The program will help you to manage repetitive tasks on your PC with high speed and minimal effort.
Why is it faster? Usually you open a program by clicking on the Start menu button, then clicking on All Programs. Your eyes search for the program icon, then you must click on it and only then the program will be launched. With Perfect Hotkey launching programs will take less time than usually.

AutoHotKey is a free coding langauge for people, even those with no coding experience, to make hotkeys themselves that can be much more powerful than this program offered. In case anyone stumbles across this giveaway in an archive and wants to get this software: Pass up on it in favor of AutoHotKey.

Looking at the cost of this program I would expect it to do more than just shortcut keys.
You can buy a full featured video editor loaded with features for the same cost of this program.

There is a problem with characters in national languages (e.g. polish).
Language file is OK, but in program window national characters are displayed not properly.

Hello, all.
I have a shortcut on the desktop to the Quick Launch folder (C:\Users\sl0j0n\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer), & I put ALL shortcuts, icons, etc. in there;
it's quick & easy to find what I want, even if I use the Win 7 'search' "function".
Hopefully helpful.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbors!

Could be useful for those who want shortcuts, but don't have coding skills.
For those who do, there are good free alternatives, with plenty of support online. A couple that spring to mind are:
Autohotkey
and
Autoit
Depends what you want them to do. For me they were useful in setting up shortcuts within Media Centre using this technique:
Build your own launcher
Many other uses for hotkeys or automation, just depends on whether they're useful in your day to day PC usage.

I have always used the built in shortcut key that has been available for years in windows. Just right click any icon and select properties and press the relevant key or combination of keys in the shortcut key box on the properties screen. Now you can press these on the desktop and your program will launch.

This is a false good idea.
If you run a few programs regularly, you've already found a way to launch them quickly (and nothing to remember): desktop, quick launch, smart start menu organization, launchers...
For other less used programs, a hot key would be harder to remember (not enough practice) and perhaps not enough key combinations available without being too complicated ---or requiring a third hand.
Of course, possible interference with a running program (I know one that doesn't use Ctrl+C to copy to clipboard), or with a new program, in which case you'll have to modify the existing hotkey ---if you remember it exists.
Then, you could make a mistake with consequences I let you imagine (power off, not enough memory, no enough resources, ...).
Lastly, you'll have another program running in the background monitoring every key combination; if you don't have enough of them, fine.

Using hotkeys for me is fine. I've learned the majority of mine (probably 50 that I use on a monthly basis), so, it's not impossible nor inconvenient for someone to learn them. And they can be convenient. For example, for someone who wants to launch a new instance of Notepad (which cannot be done by using Ctrl+N in notepad as that closes your current file, and using it on the taskbar requires a right click and then selecting from the menu "Notepad"), they can just use Windows Key + N to launch it instantly.

Could somebody from US tell us whether this is a postbox address (perhaps for foreigners)?

Phone number is missing!
It's a street address where a building exists.
Eden Prairie is a city in MN, a northern State in the USA
no phone number because they don't want to get phone calls 24/7
Hope this helps

It is in this building complex. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.8656383,-93.4010535,3a,62.2y,164.59h,74.68t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smI_Se4xUEGTNq8B6vJu6Zw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
This software is a timesaver for those that regularly use copy and paste of the same text. There is much to learn and just have to be patient especially if you are a novice to hot keys such as I.

'Usually you open a program by clicking on the Start menu button, then clicking on All Programs. Your eyes search for the program icon, then you must click on it and only then the program will be launched. '
Really? I certainly don't. I've never even gone to the Program section of the Start Menu. Programs I use a lot, i put a shortcut on the desktop. Programs not so often, I put in a "utilities" folder on the desktop. And the programs I use very rarely - well why would I want a hotkey for that?
Save | Cancel
I will not use the shortcut function for programs either, but this program can do more, like the "canned messages" function. You insert textsnippets in a tree like structure, and with a shortcut you can open this window. Doubleclicking on the textsnippet pastes it anywhere you want. That might be usefull.

I'm using native hotkeys available in Firefox, OpenOfice etc. a lot.
I have tried in former times other hotkey possibilities and even assigned in Windows hotkeys for starting several programs (e.g. CTRL+O for Opera browser). There are free programs which allow to record mouse activities and assign a hotkey (macro recorder). But who can remember all these hotkeys? I can't! (And there is the problem of same hotkeys used inside and outside programs for different tasks - the programs will tell shortcuts inside their menu structure, but how about PerfectHotkey?) As far as I remember I sometimes encountered shortcut collisions.

http://www.autohotkey.com/
My solutions for quickstart:
- I have filled my desktop nearly completely with icons for my most used programs like OpenOffice, LibreOffice, IrfanView, SpeedCommander (giveaway payware), freeCommander etc. And there are some program link folders for the rest, e.g. Graphic, GraphicViewers, Video etc. where I can find others fast alphabetically sorted.
- And my own local startpage has been built with several simple html commands and contains several hundred links showing abbreviations as their names. Construction example see below.
My hotkey problems:
- My first problem with any of the hotkey generators I tried had been: where I really would have needed them, e.g. to assign several columns to parts of my OpenOffice texts they weren't available. And I couldn't find any strategy to add them.
- My second problem was "mouse activity", e.g. move the pointer to a certain position, then some combinations of key and mouse activities and all this assigned to one hotkey.
If somebody knows any solution for one or both problems thanks in advance!
But back to Perfect Hotkey 1.32:
I've missed some more information on their homepage. Above "Some of them are internal Perfect Hotkey commands and the rest are Windows commands." I'm missing a list of these internal commands. And as far as I can see this program can only combine several hotkey commands to one.
And there is another problem: Nearly all otherwise unused key combinations - you won't misuse combinations alread in use! - need some artistic usage of your fingers or both hands - no great advantage.
Nobody is perfect ... but Perfect Hotkeys is?!

How to construct your own startpage:
As GOTD allows comments with some html commands (see section "Leave a comment" please) I here had to exchange angle brackets to square brackets [] before publishing. You have to change them back before usage.
Exactly:
First step: Please change left square bracket to left angle bracket (smaller-than sign) everywhere and right square brackets to right angle brackets (greater-than sign) before changing to your needs:
[HTML][head][title]Start-Seite[/title][/HEAD]
[body]
[font size=2]
[P][STRONG][IMG SRC="html/r_ball.gif" width=13 height=13 ALT=""]
Search [A HREF="http://www.ixquick.com/"]ixquick[/A] || [/STRONG]
[A HREF="http://www.google.de"]Google[/A]
Please add duplicates here and edit to your needs!
[/STRONG]
[/font]
[/body][/html]
Last step: Save the resulting file as e.g. START.html and declare it startpage (home) in your browser.

It is not a posbox, it is a regular, physical postal address in the state of Minnesota.

Would much rather use my mouse rather than the keyboard, was such a relief to get away from all the typing required in DOS.
Hence, have never been keen on using hot keys; used to drive my old boss crazy in my programming days.
To keep things simple I put links in appropriate folders, the folders being as follows:-
Tools, Audio, Video, PDF etc and so I'm just a couple of clicks away the programs I want.
The problem I find with hotkeys is I'm all fingers and thumbs. Plus I can never remember them for all of the programs I have, so I never know what to use for a new one.

How to make angle brackets visible in comments:
- left (<) = "<" (HTML entity for "lesser than")
- right (>) = ">" (HTML entity for "greater than")
(without the quotes, and don't forget the ";" at the end).

Try this, especially for problem number #2
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Other-Office-Tools/TyperTask.shtml
This is a freeware alternative and it can be used as launcher, keyboard-mouse activities, correcting spellings and storing texts.(Portable)
It has it's own simple macro language, so don't forget to see the help content.

The construction of your start page is not right. Links don't refer to ixquick neither to google.

Sorry, I should have tested myself. But now I did. I couldn't reckon that the Linux editor I have used would somehow change the usual " sign (with me: Shift 2) from keyboard to another variant. Please correct to " (Shift 2) everywhere and everything is fully functional as I tested myself now.
(My Start.html is based on a local startpage from a now outdated browser named CAB for GUI computer ATARI ST/Falcon more than 20 years ago and has worked all the time. I mainly added more and more HREF lines. I published here only a short extract to show the concept. This is part of my own startpage. I have cancelled hundreds of lines. And both google and ixquick are working.)
And many thanks to papin and IVAN!

I'm not so keen on the idea to launch software with short-hand key combinations. But by all means, if you are comfortable with it, why not?

Xenox, Key shortcuts have been around and have been helpful, ever since they were introduced in Win 95. If you use the Windows copy (Ctl+c) shortcut, or Paste (Cntl+v) shortcuts, then you are using them. They were revolutionary, and are really helpful for getting things done on a PC.
Save | Cancel
Rick_S - thanks for pointing that out, however, I was aware of that. So, again, Thanks.
But, I am talking about launching a program via keyboard shortcut. as I already said that. All my programs that I use are pinned to the taskbar and that's a click away whilst a keyboard shortcut is inefficient. But sure, I also use "Ctrl+C" etc... which is a different story altogether in the Shortcut theatre.

Rick_S,
Key shortcuts have been around longer than that. They've been around ever since the programmers who wrote the first text editor decided to put a few commands accessible with two-key combinations, usually one of them the control key, so they could save their files faster. So you better reckon that key shortcuts have been around since the 1950's.
As for saying they were introduced with Windows 95, sorry, but even Windows 3 had them. CP/M had them; the Commodore 64 had them. Everything which came before had them. Aren't you glad somebody so long ago decided to be lazy, or faster, take your pick?
