perfect way to start this section - absolutely perfect.

i think having a thread like this, with a list of pointers to relevant posts on the forum that we can keep updated is incredibly valuable.  :Thmbsup:

I would love to see more pages like this!

But I disagree with the 'Con' listed for PS Tray Factory.  In fact, Hotkeys can be bound to Windows keys, but are not by neccessity.  Here is a screenshot of mine--tied to Ctrl+Shift+X:



The only con I've experienced is that it can be difficult to arrange icons within PS' menu.

Cheers!
