Publisher's description of HotKeyz
From Skynergy:
You can work faster and more efficiently by using your keyboard instead of your mouse. HotKeyz is a keyboard utility that will boost your productivity and it is really fun to use. HotKeyz lets you easily create and maintain a categorized list of your hotkeys. Each hotkey, a key combination on your keyboard, will launch a command. You decide which commands go with which hotkeys. Some of these commands are internal HotKeyz commands and the rest are Windows commands. HotKeyz will help you to manage repetitive tasks on your PC with speed and minimal effort. The conventional way to open a program on your PC is by pointing your mouse to the Window start button, clicking on the Start button, then you will click on All Programs, your eyes must first look and search for your program icon, then you must click on it and only then it will be the program be launched. With a hotkey you simply press the key combination you have defined for your program and HotKeyz will launch it.
Version 2.6 adds an option to execute marked hotkeys/commands when HotKeyz starts, extra options for the Countdown command, and a setting to disable the standard windows hotkeys.
Editor's review of HotKeyz
5.0 stars
- ""
This powerful utility makes it easy to create and manage hot keys that open programs, shut down your computer, control media applications, and more.
Hotkeyz's intuitive interface divides hot keys into nine preset categories, including Control Panel, Desktop, and Internet. A simple table lists the 11 preconfigured hot keys that perform basic tasks like launching Internet Explorer, accessing the Control Panel, and adjusting volume. Novices will appreciate the step-by-step guide to creating their own hot keys, especially for more complex operations such as opening your Internet Explorer home page or automatically filling in online log-in information. A reliable help guide also eases the learning the curve.
Hotkeyz sits in the system tray when not in use, but of course, it has its own hot key combination. This user-friendly, effective freeware application makes it easy for anyone to create customized keyboard shortcuts.

Version: HotKeyz 2.6
"It's alright, but there's better choices."
Pros: Quick access to your programs.
Cons: Try Keybreeze. Much more intuitive, tiny program that does everything HotKeyz does but better and MORE!

Version: HotKeyz 2.6
Pros: It does what I wanted, and more. I like the minimize windows hotkey, which I never really thought about creating.
Cons: Sound muting doesn't seem to be compatible with Vista yet.
Also, this program doesn't compensate for human stupidity :) [I just didn't think that hotkey-ing something as Control-V would be a bad idea....]

Version: HotKeyz 2.6
"One of the best utilities ever!"
Pros: Hotkeyz is two of the best windows utilities I have ever used. I give full marks to its developers for their dedication and brilliance to create such a nice software and to distribute it freely! I have been using Hotkeyz for the last one and half month and I was amazed by it's performance and stability even though it's a free one. It's the best Hotkey utility software you can ever get comparing to the pricey softwares like turbo launch & active keyboard. Cheers to the developers and I wish if they continue to add more features to this app.
Cons: Not really a con but the interface can be little more modern. Something that matches XP.
