Runner

A replacement for Windows's Run-dialog. Born out of the need to more efficiently start my favourite applications and web sites.

Supports path autocompletion and history just like the original, but has the following features:

  • Aliases for files and folders.
  • Parameter substitution, with proper escaping. Supports both applications and URLs.
  • Configurable history exclusions.((For example when not wanting to clutter the history with parameter variations of a single script))
  • Configurable hotkey to open the dialog, Win-Q by default.
  • Global hotkeys to launch aliases
    • Can be extended to run custom code, for example to open a PowerShell session from the currently top-most Windows explorer window. You don't know what you've been missing until you have this.
